An Acid and Bitter Taste
All of us here where we will never return
I stay in this moment,
I can't get out
But I will never return again
My mother and her sister sit at the table
Trading stories I'll never know
I'm on the ceiling, watching the spiders build
homes in the cracks of their cups
There's a light down the street
There's a faith we don't speak
This house is a church in the middle of the night
When I worship the quiet,
so soft and serene I could just
slip away
