Curtains and blinds
Shut tight and pulled down
Dark and emptied rooms
Smell of stale air and hardened memories
Every door closed
Ready for lock up
Quiet as a tomb
Echoes of footsteps and heavy secrecy
Do you scream
Do you cry
At intrusive shadows on the wall
Do you scheme
Do you lie
To evade your safety protocol
Ease comes with fire
The empty loss is gasoline
Take a deep breath
Burn the vapors
Legacy moved
Stuffed in the basement
Spread around the house
Goods from the past
A grim reminder
Hidden from view
Trailered by truck and
Stored outside of town
Lost or displaced
Both property and mind
Do you scream
Do you cry
At intrusive shadows on the wall
Do you scheme
Do you lie
To evade your safety protocol
Ease comes with fire
The empty loss is gasoline
Burn the vapors
Turn the pressure off
Big turn out small
And small become big
Even grand
A crease on the palm
A line being cut
But it's out of your hands
Something is lost and you turn to your dreams
Feeling pain but no grief, no
Do you scream
Do you cry
At intrusive shadows on the wall
Do you scheme
Do you lie
To evade your safety protocol
Ease comes with fire
The empty loss is gasoline
Under pressure
And you know it
Take a deep breath
Burn the vapors
