lyrics

The mirror on the facing wall
It shows me what isn’t there
A shape will move, a light will form
In the strange, broken still
You are the Lingeress

Of the words I missed in conversation
They keep me from sleep

The hand I feel upon my back
Is the hand that fed me, it haunts me
You are the Lingeress

Of the words I missed in conversation
They keep me from sleep

They prop me up like sugar in blood
And I can’t get back to sleep
When this house isn’t empty at all
(This house is not)

The bag that hung upon my door
It looked like an old man
These are the stories I’ve been saving
They follow me around

I wish I’d kept all of the shoes that
I’ve worn throughout my life
They show the places that I’ve been to
And just how far I’ve come

To take a life as you took yours
It was so fast – I couldn’t laugh
These are the ghosts that I’m a part of
They follow me around
