lyrics

forget me
and the hull that was burning
and the hum of aeroplanes as they sank from view
and that damp dark place
it takes and takes and takes
oh why did i lay so still

salt steam
and our bodies as newborns as i recall them
i want to stand where your mother stood
before she walked outside
and was claimed like a moth by a porch light
now she hangs up when you say "hello, hello?"

and your name i wont recall
but the earth was damp and soft as we lay down, down
and you dreamt of broken teeth and a brother lost in breach
now he draws shadows across your brow
and you close the door
run the water and keep the lights low
all is just as it should be

hush, dusk dwells in corners and wolves wait
in thickets blurring into blankets
sleeping faces and the fragile framework of yesteryear
and the weight
of a ghostown bleeding shingles and worn paint
and a note pinned to the wall by the doorway
that read we are never coming home again


close the door and run the water
all is just as it should be
