Dumbhome

In a dumb home you've gotta let go of all that you know Like you've seen a ghost, watch the colour go, face porcelain pale Light on the floor, sounds draw close, pull your ankle at night Out a window, feel wind blow, feel time start to slow I see faces forming, coming out of the wall There's mirrors which reflect nothing and radios which turn themselves on I hear Jezebel calling, she's whispering spells There's quadrupeds stood upright and there's candles which will never melt I faintly smell copper carried lightly through trees There's grass that reaches up to the clouds and a man who looks identical to me I know I felt something reach out to my neck But there's nothing if no one bears witness and there's nothing to ask of the dead In a dumb home, hear the ceiling croak and the attic will moan Let the dust howl til' it settles down or it ain't safe to come out Can't hear a sound when it's on the prowl, don't cover or cower You've gotta run, if a legs broke leave 'em there on their own I see faces forming, coming out of the wall There's mirrors which reflect nothing and radios which turn themselves on I hear Jezebel calling, she's whispering spells There's quadrupeds stood upright and there's candles which will never melt I faintly smell copper carried lightly through trees There's grass that reaches up to the clouds and a man who looks identical to me I know I felt something reach out to my neck But there's nothing if no one bears witness and there's nothing to ask of the dead
