Goodnight Dark Continent Houses
These houses shuttered tight against the night
Watching fireworks on the roof
With a different girl every time
I'm telling you this and my jaw aches
But the explosions make me feel at home
All the houses we grew up in
Blur together again
The unfamiliar doorways
Into a stranger's skin
Our words have dried up
The siding peels like sunburn
Why do we do this?
What did we expect to find?
All the houses we grew up in
Blur together again
The unfamiliar doorways
Into a stranger's skin
