Lyrics

All the unpaid bills wrestling interest rates, while past-due
dates wait with their boutonnieres. And the slumping bike,
strangled with a lock that we forgot the combination to. The
old house drinks everything we hide, and hums sad songs that
keep us up all night. With the doorknobs loose and the pipes
that burst. With the fuses blown and the taps reversed. The
calendar requests a meeting to discuss the time we waste,
when would be good for you? And the sidewalk cracks spell the
way back home in one uninterrupted palindrome. The old house
keeps all of our receipts in envelopes secured with rubber
bands. Oh the blinking snow, and the dark dispersed with a
smeary moon. With our taps reversed.
