lyrics

The closed door beckons, I hear it call
The pavement mocks my presence, and so I crawl away

And I mold my wax poetic, in awkward lines
I'm buffin' up my eloquence so no-one minds my fall

My painter's kit is in patterns; the pebbles own up that my
Love keeps spitting on its history only to find its home in there

And I'm treading lightly for with heavy paws
I went and cut off all my claws
For the cage
In you

And the colour's dull, I watched it fade as dusk slips from the sill
And I ask the road does it see a flame ahead, or is it still downhill

And I'm treading lightly for with heavy paws
I went and cut off all my claws
For the cage
In you

The closed door beckons, I hear it call
The pavement mocks my presence, and so I crawl away
