I came home last night to find another family in my house/
we felt like strays as they spent their days and saw their own ups and downs/
under a roof that once sheltered mine/
to think we once had it all, the friends, the time,/
the woods we used to explore,/
the quiet creek who now holds out a roar
We were never what we said we were/
But are things ever what they seem?/
We may have rowed our boats/
but that doesnt mean/
that life is but a dream.
I came home today to a house I thought dead.
But it still lives.
We were never what we said we were.
The walls developed lungs and breathed life into this machination/
The pipes transported blood while we were all off on vacation/
The windows saw the sun with eyes that died when we replaced them/
The floorboards spoke in creaks while we were all asleep and/
The spiders underneath would weave a new web every weekend/
We cast our sails, our dreams prevailed and rowed our boats right off the deep end.
Right off the deep end.
