lyrics

I used to move with courage
Now I break by dawn
I had a migratory purpose
Now I move like one impossible swan

A bed like the back of a hearse is
You wouldn't recognize the person
I'm different all day
I live inside of a terseness
My heart just looks like pursed lips
all heard opinions verdicts
The ones I love know no one

There's a man in my house
He will stand in my doorway
He's grinding his teeth
He's breathing through me
There's a man in my house
He will say what he wants to say
He lives on his knees
Living means I live with me

I used to know a tall tree
By the top I'd lay
A part of me left long ago, fell long ago
and a little shred of me has always stayed

There's a man in my house
He will stand in my doorway
He's grinding his teeth
He's breathing through me
There's a man in my house
He will say what he wants to say
He lives on his knees
Living means I live with me
