My door stays shut
But I can't keep all the noise in
You can hear everything that I think
Even though I locked you out of the place we live in
They say actions make stronger statements than compliments, apologies
or all those good intentions you claim
My door stays shut
I said I just need to sleep in
instead I'm sharpening my tools and barely hiding all the sounds
of excavation
Keep pace
Count the days that we've waited for efforts of our labor to yield happiness and confirmation
All out of luck
Definitely out of patience
You will say we can change, leave things vague, wonder why we bother making expectations
We're insane
Never said I'm right
and I'm not sure what more to say here
I'm not sure where to be, what to say, how to play this to
avoid giving life to the futures I fear
We stay
Only brick walls and beams, hard wood floors, these old keys and the dream of insulation remaining
