Observatory Mansions II

Time scurries away from us like field mice
Out through the holes in our walls
Lost to the dark night

Heal me up again

Everything I love gathers dust
Inside my chest and all the love lost was
The love that I kept
In coffins and boxes, a museum of the dead
It’s time I let go
Let the darkness claim them heal me up again
Heal me up again

Carved out of chalk, out of wax, out of wood
Saints, dolls and angels
In pews they all stood
They said it’s time to give
All that I’ve found
It’s time to give it back to the ground

And one day they will knock
The buildings down like vomit, our ghosts
Will all spill out
And one day they will knock
The buildings down like vomit, our ghosts
Will all spill out
