lyrics

I’m still a boulder,
never set off rolling, trembling, and free.
Never chiseled out to see
how smooth and wise I could’ve been.

If I chased security
in the face of scored immortality,
would I fear the fall of time
to find my gilded place among the heap?

Ghosts surround me,
they’re draped from every branch on every tree.
They summon me to lay
my weary body out with them constantly.

Dereliction hovers
threateningly over almost everything.
If I cleared myself of doubt,
would I be rid of this wordless ennui?

Ropes bind me
to this old house that you left long ago.
If I root into its soil
will I grow cold, childless, and alone?

I’ve struggled to trust in the bouts
of glorious conviviality.
I’ve stitched my faith in disbelief,
‘cause I’ve learned things are never what they seem.

I’m never leaving this damn house!
I’m never leaving this damn house!
I’m never leaving this damn house!
I’m never leaving this damn house!
