lyrics

Lights on but like you guessed, nobody’s home. We haven’t played “family” for so long. He knew all along that his pastimes were wrong but paracetamol’s strong, and she’s exceeding dosage several times a day. String the kids along in the divorcee’s parade. He’s getting away with all the games he plays but what’s the cost of it all? And she’d always say

“don’t go worrying about the politics because you know that nine in ten are hypocrites. You’ll be ousted, even by heretics but you can always come home. Home will always be what you need it to be.”

This red room, so you’ll never forget that hearts and beds weren’t made to shared. None of the photographs or journal entries say ”Christine miscarried today.” Still, we lose composure several times a day. Six stray hearts that hide it all away. What they wouldn’t give for just another day, a day to hear you say:

“don’t go worrying about the politics because you know that nine in ten are hypocrites. You’ll be ousted, even by heretics.” I don’t want to go home. Home without Christine isn’t home to me.
