lyrics

Every now and then it’s so hot in our room
I get up and knock the dust of the box fan
Since it’s only pushing hot air in, I lay awake
Then I think about the years I slept through this alone

And then it comes rushing through my mind:
You haven’t spoken in a week
As if some vow against this ceremony,
You’ve pulled away from me
And I drift off to sleep

Now I wake up to an empty room, no sign of life
All the pictures have been taken down and the tree’s dying out
The box fan’s been running all night, I couldn’t hear a sound
The bed was cold; it was obvious this wasn’t my home

And then it comes flashing before my eyes:
I couldn’t recognize who I see
As if some vow against this ordinance,
You removed any trace of me
So I step out to leave

Nowadays I wake up to a bunk right above me
The house is quiet, just the creaks and moans of it settling
I look up to the window: no box fan at all
I was erased
I cover my face
I lay back and think
I drift off to sleep
