lyrics

You have grown up and out of me.
I smell a little bit stranger every night.
I have come to life to sell the contents of your bedroom on the sidewalk.
Stuck a price on your birthright.

Put on your tag, you're a part of this.
Dust off your Twain and your Kierkegaard.
Curate a little list of the walls you'll miss.
Forget the size of your backyard.

Do you long for me when you sleep
under other attic sounds
and when you visit us,
will you still know what I hide beneath my floorboards
like a Frank Capra bloodhound?

Put on your spurs you're a part of this.
Dust off your Wayne and your Morricone.
Burn all those pics of the roofs you miss.
Never say the word 'home'.
Daydream about a house that you passed today.
Draft up a different childhood inside of it.
Try desperately to feel like you did when you felt that way:
when you woke up in my respite.

So stay out or I'll haunt you,
but on your way out:
be sure a little bit of blood is left for me.
