Lyrics

The grandfather clock it’s gone 
It’s been left out on the lawn 
Now there’s a lighter patch 
Where it blocked out all the sun 
& the time was stuck at twelve 
Pointing straight up at the books on the shelf 
That I didn’t read cause they belonged to someone else

If I stay they’ll go 
When I come back they’ll never know 
If they turn up here tomorrow I won't show 

There’s a photo in the frame 
Two coal miners in the rain 
I heard they disappeared & things were not the same
& this house well it’s not mine 
But I go here all the time 
No one lives here so I’ve always thought it fine 

& my eyes see through it like a cloth
The hall lights flicker on & off 
Theres a mirror it's reflecting me
Not a person & personality 
I stand here I can hardly breathe 
I just wanna know when I can leave

There’s a broken wicker chair 
Down the hallway up the stairs 
I just sit here when I think nobody cares 
& I know that this could change 
But I can always rearrange 
How I think it up incase it gets too strange
