Gone for a month, make it years, make it years
No use for improvements, as the only one here
Fairweather friends are still friends till they go away
Now the house falls apart 'cause I can't fucking care
Empty cans for foundation, complete disrepair
Sleep in your bed, I'm fine on the hardwood
You've found someone new, I'm caught in these walls
I kept what you left when you left for new homes
All the blankets and cords, you don't need anymore
No more new faces
Burnt bridge, complacent
Stay inside
The house was alive with your footfalls and sounds
Now it's hard to contrive how to live in this house
No more new faces
Burnt bridge, complacent
Stay inside
Covered windows
Slowly, let the lights burn out
Ceiling panels
Falling as the house burns down
I kept what you left when you left for new homes
All the blankets and cords you don't need anymore
No more new faces
Burnt bridge, complacent
Stay inside
The house was alive with your footfalls and sounds
Now it's hard to contrive how to live in this house
No more new faces
Burnt bridge, complacent
Stay inside
No more new faces
Burnt bridge, complacent
Vacant rooms, leave traces
Long trails to places
Far from home, stay patient
Less calls, replacements now
No more new faces
Burnt bridge, complacent
Vacant rooms, leave traces
Long trails to places
Far from home, stay patient
Less calls, replacements
Peel the paint off
Cancer's growing from the house
Let the light in
Spread until the flames die down
