I Know

he began hearing the voice of his wife
coming from between the walls
the funeral was only two weeks ago
where was her voice coming from?
the sound of the phone
pulls him away
text message reads
"I'm here to stay"
this couldn't be real
i can't believe it
he began believing things that she said
pulling him further away
she told him things that he wanted to hear
he believed every word
the blank tv screen
sucked him away
sound of her voice
leads him astray
this couldn't be real
i can't believe it
i know you're not gone, you're just not here with me
but you can hear this and see me
i know you're not gone, but it seems like to me
but you can hear this and see me
he dreamed in tongues whispered into his ear
tongues that were not understood
solitude invited things to his mind
things that were not understood
dream, sweet dream
how could this be
dream, sweet dream
it's too sweet to leave
I know you're not gone, you're just not here with me
but you can hear this and see me
I know you're not gone, but it seems like to me
but you can hear this and see me
i know you're waiting
still understanding
I know

Stranger

you are a stranger
you are a stranger to yourself
you are a stranger
you are a stranger in this land
they will remember
they won't forget whose side you're on
and they'll remember
to lick the last skin off your bone
even though the price is dear
even though the debt is clear
i will take it all knowing that it's gonna hurt
you're gonna pay
you're gonna pay for every kiss
and every moment
every smile has it's price
waiting sharks will suck your soul
taking everything you owe
they will remember
you are a stranger in this land
even though the price is dear
even though the debt is clear
i will take it all knowing that it's gonna hurt
even when they come for you
you'll be waiting for them too
everything you owe will be paid back in full

The Walls

haunting on the table
on my eyes they burn
forgotten earings
awaiting your return
stray hair forgotten
waiting to be found
in the space that was left by you
the dishes in the sink
the mess is comforting
don't wash away the sweetest memory
airs upon the pillow
arm around my side
hallucinations
wake me in the night
walls that breathe your name
through windows air escapes
the city holds the odor of your skin
streetlight pouring through
on spaces we would wait
on floors without a broom is scrawled your name
the dishes in the sink
the odor of your skin
the walls that breathe your name
the walls that breathe your name
the walls

Into the Corners

salt dried our thoughts
waves echoed off
the cold wind blew the sand
into places we couldn't find
into the corners of our lives
sifting sands below
the day was gray and cold
fluid in an hourglass
cold like the feeling of parting
sand was blown
into the corners of
into the corners of our lives
moments carved in stone
by seawind sand was blown
creaveses went deeper than light
deeper than we could have imagined
as the months went by
what we found inside
creaveses went deeper than light
deeper than we could have imagined
the sand was blown
into the crevaces
of things we won't forget
with what the salt had dried
our thoughts were left behind
the sand was blown
into the corners of
into the crevaces
and as the months went by
and what we found inside
the sand was blown
into the corners of
into the corners of our lives
