lyrics

Bones in the Attic

Assembled like a chandelier,
bones embodying your past
descend the attic staircase
& pause, perplexed, behind the door.

But you won't let them out for fear
that they'll tear down everything
that you've worked so hard to forge.

"...sure are makin' a lot of noise!"

Oh, when the floods came
you ran & I embraced:
well, I died & was born again
because I was sick of politics
I washed my hands of all of it
& you were just looking for an angle
or something elegant,

but you can't romanticize this.
