Avocado Green

Painted on a plaque above the doorway Reads Mr. and Mrs. darcy come on in There’s a red rose in a glass case on a mantle And a chair right next to him where no one sits And everything is just the way she left it Like a perfect 1960’s movies set And avocado green it was never quite his thing But now it’s all of her that he has left Cause he cant let go He wont let her leave Like to go still stuck here in between And sometimes it gets hard to tell Which one of them is gone He’s been dead so long now it seems He’s still alive in that avocado green There’s a sign on the door at the end of the hallway Reads kacey’s room only kids allowed And daddy keeps it clean And avocado green Sits in there and he cries when he’s alone Cause he cant let go He wont let her leave Like to go still stuck here in-between and sometimes it gets hard to tell which one of them is gone he’s been dead forever and now it seems she’s still alive in that avocado green In the blink of an eye forty years goes by And they both still haunt these colored walls Everyone feel pain But no ones grieves the same He cant let go he wont let her leave like to go still Stuck here in-between And sometimes it gets hard to tell which one of them is gone He’s been dead forever and now it seems She still alive in that avocado green There both alive in that avocado green
