lyrics

cluttered kitchen table
empty boxes in the room where no one slept
with dated floral wallpaper
it's peeling at the edges

and in my old bedroom
there's a plastered over hole in the drywall
next to the window that won't seal
some wounds they will not heal
and the color in the carpet's fading

and the lamp in the living room
though the base looks new
holds a shade that's frayed from thirty years of mistakes
that it celebrates

and i can't help but be grateful that
this is not my home anymore
no this is not my home anymore
i gotta get outta here
i just gotta get outta here

crying in the bathroom
the fan doesn't cover the sounds of her screaming
all quaking and shrill
those ten year old echoes

from my place at the dinner table
i could see the violence in his eyes
as he broods on the sofa

i swore i wouldn't sleep that night to listen
for stainless steel leaving the knife block in the kitchen
but if he's standing over you
what are you gonna do?

and i just wanna scream
this is not my home anymore
no this is not my home anymore

but i can feel the shape of her skeleton
shaking in my arms again
every time i see that crack in the floor
from when the house was split in two
but some eggs
yeah some good eggs
they just can't be put back together

this is not my home anymore
i gotta get outta here
