They will watch

how are the kids?
how is the wife?
they're watching you

they can't see me
they only see what i've done

there's the bones
protecting your lungs
and now they're mine
to put in the pile
i've left in the attic

will they find it?
such things matter so little
you can't move

they're watching what happened to you
but they don't know what i did
and they never will
