Mom has always loved antiques
I have never asked her why
Perhaps it's the connection to the past
Maybe the craftsmanship

Anything that might show me the way

We need a place called home
We are in the market for surreal
Real estate beyond the pale          
Made of corrugated cardboard boxes

Whether children leaving the nest or friendships that last across continents... Love is forever... Even when we're apart.

Oh-oh-oh...
Let's put down our baggage 
Let's free ourselves
Our hearts and our minds

where claws curl tight in dust and brittle bone
your lies are hyenas dancing in the flame
their jaws a rattle tearing flesh to stone
their laughter cracks the silence and the name

and, straining underneath its fragile skin
resentment, like hot magma, sought release.
