A series of vignettes glimpsing into the experience of living in a place that is fundamentally unwell.

lyrics

I dug a trench
It filled with rain
Overgrown with ivy
Left a big green stain
Dug a little deeper
It washed away
But it filled up again
The very next day

I bought a house
Painted it white
I hear it creaking
Each and every night
Wrote it off as nothing
Went back to bed
But I awoke with teardrops
Falling on my head

I went out looking
For work one day
I need to eat
I need to get paid
When I came home
I was a little less me
They tore my heart out
And nailed it to a tree

Every time I breathe
Or every time I walk
I am reminded
I am something I’m not
Everything I show you
Is to cover the rot
This house has lesions
And the entrance is locked
