Opening The Cupboard
What I would end up trying to construe
Was all nothing but true
Anything I would feel
Would happen like skin being peeled
In the next dimension
I'm opening the door
Into your house
On this side of the line
You can't see nothin' outside
The trees are up, but it's dead as a doornail
There's nothin' to see till summertime
Summertime? Yeah, you crazy
I decided to remain a nobody
I consider myself not worthy
To meditate on what doesn't exist
My hearts having trouble
Like seasick siren to a corpse
Combative from the start
