Lyrics

Intro

Hollow echoes in the hallway

Footsteps fading into air

Verse 1

Walls are breathing backwards in the quiet of the room

Shadows stretching longer in the afternoon bloom

I pulled down all the pictures that we hung up on the wall

Listening for a whisper that'll answer when I call

Left the front door open, let the winter cold rush in

Trying to remember where the silence used to begin

Pre-Chorus

Is it getting darker, or am I closing up my eyes?

Trading all the comfort for a ceiling made of skies

Every little memory is turning into thread

Unraveling the place where I used to lay my head

Chorus

Is this what you asked for, or just a ghost of me?

A house built out of glass floating out into the sea

Nothing's where it used to be, the floor is giving way

I'm standing in the hallway with nothing left to say

Nothing left to say

Verse 2

Dust is settling heavy on the keys beside the sink

Giving myself time, but I don't know how to think

Floorboards creaking underneath the weight of what we said

Carrying a suitcase full of stones inside my head

If I turn the lights off, does the structure disappear?

Or am I just a stranger who's been living here for years?

Pre-Chorus

Is it getting darker, or am I closing up my eyes?

Trading all the comfort for a ceiling made of skies

Every little memory is turning into thread

Unraveling the place where I used to lay my head

Chorus

Is this what you asked for, or just a ghost of me?

A house built out of glass floating out into the sea

Nothing's where it used to be, the floor is giving way

I'm standing in the hallway with nothing left to say

Nothing left to say

Outro

The foundation's cracking open...

Let the soil swallow the floor.

We aren't hiding anymore.

Lock the deadbolt.

Fade out.
