Wrapped In Piano Strings
I saw your father in the hallHis ghost is living in the wallsI heard him crying while you sleptI heard him breaking things after you left
I watched you crawl into my bedWith curses spilling from your headYou said "We're just the walking dead"So I pulled the trigger and we floated off
Into the airInto the airInto the airInto the airUp in the airWe're in the airUp in the airUp in the air
I used to worry about the timeThat I lost my teeth along the lineSo I carved the apple from my eyeAnd gave it to you before I went away
Blood ran into the kitchen sinkYour hand and arms are running pinkI sat and watched you as your ringSlipped off and rolled across the kitchen floor
They cut your eyes wide openAnd bore into your precious headMy reach don't go that far dearBut please, oh please, don't let them in
I sank into the seaWrapped in piano stringsFew words could open meBut you knew them all
Now I just sleep beneath your floorMy ghost just tries to keep you warmI've seen the endI've lost the warOne day you'll join me here just like the rest
I hear the enginesThey're roaring in our mouthsThe smell of creaturesAre falling tooth and nail to get out
I see the airplanesThey're pouring from your chestThey fill the airAnd burn and bury just like the rest
