Hidden in the veils of my childhood roam 
Is something that should never happen at home 
And it wasn’t in this life 
I look into the eyes of his wife 
And only see what happened to me 
And what he set free 
When he unleashed the tiger he tamed 
He thought I was a girl he named
And we collided in an instant framed 
But then I became the one he blamed 
For everything that had gone wrong 
But he stopped singing his song 
Somewhere around the age of twenty 
Now all his avenues are empty 
As he looks into her eyes
And something in both of them dies 
As they try to cobble together a room 
But they both know death is coming soon 
And all they can do to ward off the wind 
Is to atone for the ways they have sinned 
By making something nice 
But it’s not something you can do twice 
And I’m looking at his shadow by my door 
And I realise I wanted more 
But I just salvage what is left of my pride 
What’s a car to do but be taken for a ride 
And it slows when it comes to my corner 
You look at me like a foreigner 
As if I have stolen your plot of ground 
But I just leave without a sound 
And you can use all the silence you own 
To water the flowers I could have grown 
With you in this scene 
But wake up honey, it’s just a dream 
And midnight isn’t when you should be awake in slumber 
You don’t need to worry, I deleted your number
