Safe As House

I like looking at the sky As the wind plays through The skirts of the trees The silence knows How afraid we are of it Cherished memories Bleed and bloom Our secrets like seeds Get swept up and carried through Our neighbourhood Safe as houses Tuck me in Daylight waits for no man You're still young and breathing's easy Suck it in What a waste this facade What a pity we've come this far The rain will fall and baptise Our strongholds, our sheltered lives Closed blinds, drawn curtains And vinyl floors can't hide Sane memories Bleed and bloom Our secrets like weeds Creeps up to the roof Our neighbourhood Safe as houses Tuck me in Daylight waits for no man You're still young and breathing's easy Suck it in What a waste this facade What a pity we've come this far Our luscious denial Our devoured minds Our thoughts remain impotent Our pillows stay fertile Safe as houses Tuck me in Daylight waits for no man You're still young and breathing's easy Suck it in What a waste this facade What a pity we've come this far What a pity we've come this far
