The Estate |
| I’ve stared these walls down for hours |
| I’ve watched cracks in the plaster as they crawl the wall Encouraged by the |
| stirring, in foundations |
| Brought by the changes of the elements |
| I hung the paintings oh so strategically |
| Trying to mask the imperfections from the naked eye |
| Like makeup to mask the signature of time |
| I beg my conscious not to speak of what it has seen |
| Or what it knows |
| Erase the past behind these walls, erase the past |
| But the rafters weep at the rain |
| Floorboards bend like a crooked spine |
| Muttering gossips at each step they die to tell |
| A stench of mold permeates out from its hiding place now |
| Walls insulated with spite, abuse, addictions |
| Problems I’m too afraid to face alone |
| Bodies I’ve locked in with bitterness |
| The ones that hurt |
| The ones that said that I couldn’t be what I want to be |
| Doors open I can never close |
| Everything is swayed I’ll keep a fresh coat on the outer skin |
| A set of wax plants on the front porch |
| Those who pass by this old estate |
| Well they will never know Well isn’t that the name of this old game |
| A fraud, mislead by false by appearance |
| Loved ones, drifters wait outside |
| Forgotten are the times I welcomed people in through these doors How much |
| longer will the monotonous words hold their ground Everything is just fine |
| But now my world is shaking |
| And out of the cracks the snakes creep out |
| Exposing my rot I’m not as strong as I make you believe |
| As a matter of fact, beneath the skin I am crumbling |
| Like the incision to separate the infection from tissue |
| Oh carpenter, renovate the old so what’s old can become new |
