The House We Built

Through Desperate highs by candle light Synthetic afternoon delight Self-righteous breaths to fill with drugs A longing kiss swept under the rug Lingering shadows that stretch on the walls Breathing in deeply the screams from the hall Unbreakable, porcelain dolls from our dreams To live for the moments where nothing is seen Your whispering pleas from midnight to one In silence, a course bound straight for the sun The noise of a city to smother your name Still piercing within, my hands to the flame I wake up with you; forget what I knew Forever in bloom, that porcelan view Unbreakable dreams of yesterday’s sheen Vibrating at frequencies lost with a dream Crescendos are lost in words that you left Deep within memories; moments are kept Reliving that day; I won’t walk away The unpayable debt that I left you to pay So haunt me tonight; the ghosts that we made Tune in to the radio waves that we played Indulge in escape with whispers from you On nights the love in view, was anything but true
