Everynight

Every night when I come home - a ghost stares at the phone

And the dust greets me from above

The sediment of what I have become

Every night I watch you all, every day I know

Every night when I come home shadows start to grow

And the sun that stings from the west silhouettes you

My hungry eyes retract afraid the shadow's true

Afraid of fading too

Every night hear a rusty hinge make a sound of the dead below

Every night when my mind kicks in the hands of time are ticking

Won't let go - and like the dream in the silhouette

When the masquerading cabbage said:

"well look at you, won't you look at you,

Just cuz you have a head you think you're always set

To know… to know… to know…"

(stop)

Every night try to walk away

But hands of time just pull me back again

Every night at the appointed time the calling mind won't go

Every day in the same old way it's the sound of winding down

My starving ears react to the unrelenting howl

Every night come crawling in

On your hands from where I don't know

Every night with the monster lens steal a photograph of my soul

Every night with the six inch heels strut strut right into my room

Every night feel the hands of time turn me back to the

Naked gloom (oh I don't know, oh I don't know…)
