lyrics

the hinges are stuck and they smell a little like glue
the walls are smeared and stained with fear
and they all look just like you
well, they don't listen much
and they speak even less
but they do hear the dripping sound under the sink
and it's causing structural stress
lots of tiny figurines
pawns and knights and kings and queens
moving without being seen
and seeing without really being
the glass tilts in and changes face
but the doorknob stays right in place
break in case emergency
rinse, repeat and purge and feed
there must be cure
for this magic bullet
without being sure
i reach, grab, and pull it

let us light a lamp so that you may see the wares
you may feel the tears
during the opening
