Mewithoutyou "C-Minor" |
Our house wrapped in disrepairs, a small mouse peeked out from a hole beneath the stairs nearby to where my dad sat in his favorite chair, thinking about the government, and muttering a prayer. So I scattered some oats in hopes she'd stay and sat still to stop from scaring her away - but she hurried on her little way and scurried around my mind ever since, every day Open wide, my door, My Lord, my Lord. Open wide, my door, to whatever makes me love you more. Open wide, my door, while there's still light to run towards. Open wide, my door. Like water on the dry wood, equal parts misguided and misunderstood but all the neighborhood watched a fire burn from where they stood as the smoke said "we're not half as bad, as God is good," and there's a whisper in my ear, the voice of loneliness and fear, And I say: "Devil disappear! I'm still "technically" a virgin after 27 years - which never bothered me before, so, what's maybe 50 more?" Open wide, my door, My Lord, my Lord. Open wide, my door, to whatever makes me love you more. Open wide, my door, while there's still light to run towards. Open wide, my door. she came back for the oats, but she brought along a "friend". (It never ends) the harder the rain, the lower the flowers in the garden bend. (It never ends) I'd rather never talk again, than to continue to pretend that this never ends.
