I thought I had a home

Candlelight

Fragile pasts come to crack in the future

When foreign old smiles come to poke and amuse you

Who has the fault of having no ghosts? 

Who has the fault of carrying one soul?

 

This place is dead when you're here in the morning

Leave me behind on your brittle white story

Put me on wait until I have the chance

Outright rejection, the present will lie

And I'll stand on its back waiting, grieving and hoping

My family's wide

They will need more than loving

Among many smiles 

I seep out when they're coughing
