lyrics

Right after the universe
the second thing the creator made was a lock
so no one could ever see his face.
But i've been picking at his lock,
and trying to crack his code,
but it seems there are a few numbers still missing.

You believe you see ghosts
walking through the house at night,
in rooms that are unsafe to go into.
Do you really see shadows in your periphery?
Or ethereal people who once lived standing in your room, where
on that kitchen table you drew a perfect sketch of me,
but quickly tried to cover up the honesty in what you really see.

And maybe one day we could live without names
and i could know you by all my five senses that you satisfy.
But you don't know how to swim in anything deeper than shallow water, and i guess that's true for your speech as well.
And every time i come home i never take off my shoes,
'cause i don't plan on staying very long.
