Apricot Blush

This House Still Sings

Apricot Blush


I woke up in sweats alone 
Swimming inside this river that sank into my bones
Its freezing
No! I can hold my own
This house is brimming and soon will overflow
As it always goes

Is this what you want?
Is this what you are?
This house still sings
Though nothing is heard

Is this what you want?
To get rid of it all?
Well this house still sings
To nothing at all!

Is this what you want?

I'll sink just like a stone 
Ghost-thin in undertow
My bed flows endlessly in quiet comfort
I am alone

And I'll sink just like a stone 
Ghost-thin in undertow
Life is low, you are alone
Life is low, you are alone
