Genesis 3:23 |
| House up in Clearlake |
| Where I used to live |
| Picked the lock on the front door |
| And felt it give |
| Touch nothing, move nothing, stand still |
| Keep my ears open for cars |
| See how the people here live now |
| Hope that they’re better at it than I was |
| I used to live here |
| I used to live here |
| I used to live here |
| I used to live here |
| Pictures up on the mantle |
| Nobody I know |
| I stand by the tiny furnace |
| Where the long shadows grow |
| Living room to bedroom to kitchen |
| Familiar and warm |
| Hours spent starving within these walls |
| Sounds of a distant storm |
| I used to live here |
| I used to live here |
| I used to live here |
| I used to live here |
| Fight through the ghosts in the hallway |
| Duck and weave |
| Stand by the door with my eyes closed |
| When it’s time to leave |
| Steal home before sunset |
| Cover up my tracks |
| Drive home with old dreams at play in my mind |
| And the wind at my back |
| Break the lock on my own garden gate |
| When I get home after dark |
| Sit looking up at the stars outside |
| Like teeth in the mouth of a shark |
| I used to live here |
| I used to live here |
| I used to live here |
| I used to live here |
