Voidcaller Sanctuary

I found teeth in the carpet again

Tiny white moons by the bed

Mother won't look at the hallway

Father just counts what is dead

My name scratched under the table

My sleep tied up in a knot

I keep a cup by the doorway For the things that knock

The walls bend inward

The wires

hum in the rain

I smile for no one And swallow the name

Don't turn on the house

It knows where I hide

Don't speak through the floor

I can hear it inside

Hold me under the static Let the ceiling divide

I am calm on the outside

With a knife in my mind (ahhhh)

There are flies in the mirror today

Black wings spelling my age

Every prayer in the cupboard Has learned to rattle its cage I

wash my hands till they're burning

Still feel the dirt underneath

Something

sleeps in the bedroom Grinding holes in its

teeth

If I open my mouth

Only dust will sing

If I open the door

It will wear my skin (ahhhh)

Bury the clock

Bury the key

Bury the animal Still inside me

Don't turn on the house

It knows where I hide

Don't speak through the floor

I can hear it inside Hold me under the static Let the

ceiling divide

I am calm on the outside With a knife in my mind (ahhhh)

I leave the cup

by the doorway

I leave the bed unmade
