Red House Painters — Katy Song lyrics

Lyrics

some escape some door to open
this path seems the blackest but i guess it’s the soonest
but there in the clearing i know you’ll be wearing
your young aching smile and
waving your hand
can’t go with my heart when i can’t feel what’s in it i thought you’d come over
but for some reason you didn’t
glass on the pavement under my shoe
without you is all my life amounts to a final sleep no words from my cutting
mouth to your ear or taut wicked pinches
from my fingers to your bitter face
that i can’t heal
i know tomorrow
you will be somewhere in london
living with someone
you’ve got some kind of family
there to turn to and that’s more than i could ever give you
a chance for calm
a hope for freedom
outlet from my cold solitary kingdom
by the forest of our spring stay
where you walked away
and left a bleeding part of me empty and bothered
watching the water
quiet in the corner
numb and falling through
without you what does my life amount to?
