lyrics

Scribbles crunch and stray leaves blur
Where Nothing charms with nothing charms
Flooded floor clocks rot ashore
Muddy mirrors clank like arms
Flaking palimpsest of walls
Sweet Nothing charms with nothing charms
Your poor budgie, hear him call?
Childhood room lined with alarms

How can this home be priced?
Coy territorial ghosts
Pied rags of moments iced
Which one you’ve lost the most?
Now I consider the birds!
Caged for their voice and wings
Rustles in minor 3rds
Throwaway priceless things

In this room peeling with old worry
Picking old nothing charms
If I cough up that sorry,
Can I sublet the harm?
Whiffs of long since sour passion
Wallmarks of clawless rage
Silly old touching fashions
In time, every home turns a cage

Lie, come alive, fly and pick up your nothing charms!
- Clipped wings can't fly, charms can't work with nothing.
Lie, fly away, I will compensate all the harm!
- Bleed here for life, I don't want your​ nothing.
