[Verse 1]
Dust on the floorboards
Cobweb thoughts in crooked frames
Old ghosts on the wardrobe
Mouths stitched shut
Still call my name
Rust on the nail where I hung my pride
Every faded scream stacked side by side
[Chorus]
All my miseries
Locked in the attic of my mind
Bones in boxes
Labeled “things I left behind”
Erosion of emotions
Grinding slow like teeth at night
All my miseries
Still scratching in the attic of my mind
[Verse 2]
Found my first heartbreak
Pressed between pages
Cracked and dry
Letters with burn marks
Every “forever” crossed with lies
Tried to board it up
Paint it clean and white
But the stains bleed through when I kill the light
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I climb those creaking stairs again
Bare feet on splinters
Breathing dust
Thought I buried all that pain
But it’s breathing back
It’s breathing us
[low vocal register] I hear my own voice
Twenty years behind
Screaming through the rafters of my mind
[Chorus]
