lyrics

Waking up has gotten really hard
Body has gotten so used to the dark
Y’know today, I won’t be moving much at all

That sting of light will surely find its way
Through the gap where the cloth has come away
Has it torn? I guess it’s just fabric after all

Pull them further to the left side
Pull them harder to the right

Oh, Cheap Curtains
Ive watched your threads as they’ve all but come undone
Meant to keep us apart
Instead they come apart

Your edges start to fray
I’ll bind your threads and shut the world away
Meant to keep us apart
Instead you fall apart

Behind these blinds is where I come to life
Hack my hair with a blunt kitchen knife
And I believe, thats fear in my children’s eyes

Behind the dark and straining to see
Distorted shapes of my memories
And a vague outline of my family.
