I died in the house I grew up in Laughter stuck in the plaster of those white walls Every inch I grew chiseled into the frame around the door They tore it down So now I don't grow No, I don't grow anymore My body lies facing the sky in the backyard Every bone in the overgrown web of weeds There's a name I knew that's carved into an ancient evergreen There was a time it once was mine Now it's all It's all that I'll ever be I swear the lights were on And the bed was unmade And the toys were all strewn on the rug in the room Where I used to play I was alive back then Not just trying to breathe Now I'm tied to the past And I'm paralyzed forced to watch everyone leave Nobody knows that she's cold and alone Stuck in sepia tone memories Set the rubble on fire As a funeral pyre For the little kid I used to be Nobody knows that she's cold and alone Stuck in sepia tone memories Set the rubble on fire As a funeral pyre For the little kid I used to be
