lyrics

I remember when I first saw you in the house where everyone had decided to come out to. But you weren't talking, just staring like a statue in a garden.

And under chemicals I witness life from a couch in the basement then we'd speak of it no more and hope the music could cover us. You went with him behind the bathroom door and came out with your eyes red. In photographs you were captured in a pale orange light and crowded place.

You get home to your room and you lay down to rest. With your hands on your locket and your veins running hot.

Trying to escape a house that felt like it's on fire to green fields and blue oceans in a car on a highway. And you shaking body sweat straight through the sheets and you're wishing to just forget.

I remember being drunk at a park where my friends called my name and they said to me that it's time to go. We drove back to their place through the trees and on the dark ride we were silent.

Well I'd see you on my way to class where the boys hang after school behind the locker rooms; there were secrets there kept by quiets tongues. And he said to me in a dark driveway, "I can taste her in cheap liquor," then he went back inside; his cigarette still burning on the ground.

Your flushed skin looked just like a ghost when we'd pass in the hall. And your eyes looked like glass when he'd speak to you.

And you'd pass out on a bedroom floor with a photo album on your lap and pills in your hand - you are made new. And on your showers floor you'd sit turning your eyes red, the hot water falling from your shoulders.
