My rooms are empty in the open

I echo once forbidden thoughts

I hold the key but locks are broken

Cold drafts are sweeping off your words

The rubbish of a hopeful future 

Rolls down the broken staircase

Cracks in the walls let in the vultures

The ancient clock has lost its face 

 

Stains of regret took place of paintings

Which we hung close to someone's call

The colours of your warmth are fading

And nothing ever will be whole 

This house of love is long abandoned

My bedroom windows face a wall

Our pines of pity overshadowed

The light once caught up in the fall

 

I sweep my life through murky hallways

And rearrange the dying plants

I bid farewell and just as always

I am the one who's left behind

I'm burning down my jaded feelings

Together with our lovely stain

I'm watching flames lick rusty ceilings

And bury what we won't remain
