Nobody Lives

in my attic, i have friends they have a hundred legs up there, the angels watch over me make sure i'm not materialistic they watch through security cameras make sure i don't start it on fire they hear all seven of my voices they want me to start them on fire there's a ghost in the mirror how do you get out of here art will swallow you whole and they're all hiding out of fear he bites his lip until it bleeds he can't put the knife away watch and learn, roll up your sleeves nobody's living anyway oh no, my vision's f*cked up again walking through the furniture store my six year-old self would imagine it would imagine it home like she always did i watch through security cameras i see her in a jacket in an empty room she's hugging herself, physically but it's a fight, it's a fight, unwittingly there's a ghost in the mirror how do you get out of here art will swallow you whole and they're all hiding out of fear he bites his lip until it bleeds he can't put the knife away watch and learn, roll up your sleeves nobody's living anyway
