Stretch your skin your skin across the canvas

Make yourself art 

The trees are moaning out your name

While the wind whispers it

You will go to shade 

I will go to shame 

 

Between the waking and the dream

When the world is still new

When you were here with me

Now I feel so strange 

I'm just so stuck in the greys

I will hide away 

 

I’m patching holes in the walls from when I was 15

Homesick ghosts keep you awake, the moon above the trees

I'll float past your window, look inside

Watch you watch the television, back when you were alive

 

In the middle of the night

I had awoke

From a bittersweet dream

And when the lights came on

I remembered where I was

And I remembered where you were

 

I'm patching holes in the walls from when I was 16

Homesick ghosts keep you awake, the moon above the trees

I’ll float past your window, look inside

Watch you watch the television, back when you were alive
