Lyrics:
Feel the light fade
Twinkling traffic
Won’t go outside
Can’t bear the noise
Watch the milk is boiling over
Hear the train pass
The neck twist tighter

Look the hourglass stops
Undo the necklace in knots
Open up your beak and eat the egg I give you
Good, now
Let me in too
Familiar and cool
Lie back on the bed don't move your lips anymore
Stop
Someone’s at the door

I am a ghost
I am a crumpled up note
You found under your bed
The shame between your legs
I am a coat
You put on when you’re alone
Moth-eaten round your name
Why do you stay the same?

Wash the sand off
Empty the bath out
Won’t unlock it
Can’t feel the cold
The roof the room the earth goes under
Hear the nightjar
The breath comes faster

Feel the heaviness come
The bones that warmed you so long
Those caresses every morning waking you up
So no need for a clock
Reenact it, when it’s quiet, circle the room
There’s no one to stop you

I am a ghost
A place that you used to know
The first time you undressed
Remember what was said
I am a coat
You put on when you’re alone ill-fitting it became
Why can’t you stay the same?

open up the note
the doors to rooms that you had closed
You aren’t as alone as you feel
