lyrics

Staring at the ceiling is a sad passtime
but i can't stand to stand or stand to sit down
you badly painted face
cracking by the day

now diluting ghosts with a bottle of wine
you cut and now you're back at the end of the line
oh you're not getting through
things you can't undo

domesticating wolves
and letting them run loose

so what? no one sees me
i didn't wanna come

I wish I took the train to get out of town
the sun is bleeding yellow light into my room
the dust cast its shadows
forming little crows

like cloudspotting in spring
i find comfort in dumb things
my birds have found a home
they live here fully grown

so what? no one sees me
i just want to go home
