[02:24.605] When some unfamiliar faces came to shop in our old house,
[02:35.638] I didn't bother trying to stop them until they emptied it out.
[02:46.949] I was standing by the front door, stuffing cash in a jar, taking payment for our failures…
[03:03.828] …I only wanted to alarm you.
[03:09.520] So when they asked me for directions, I sold them our map.
[03:20.505] I sold our shovels and our flashlights,
[03:27.017] they took our duffel bag with a ton of room, but a broken strap.
[03:32.369] The hungry patrons hit the graveyard, I lit a joint in the house,
[03:41.982] where there was nothing but our mattress and the same soft shelter of sheets,
[03:50.390] where nobody found us…
[04:14.478] I let them strip your mausoleum so nothing was left,
[04:27.004] but they forgot to close the casket…
[04:32.484] They sent you shivering to my doorstep.
[04:38.333] Gently clawing at my window when I was less than awake,
[04:49.230] I slid it up for you to slither through.
[04:54.743] I heard you howling,
[04:57.037] "Just take me!
[04:58.098] Just take me to the rusty city we perfected,that holy summer we first found!”
[05:12.362] The place you’re stubbornly protecting is the only pretty thing that we own now,
[05:23.455] and we can stay here to wither in your garden of eden,
[05:34.199] but your fantasy’s a prison and you’re serving a sentence you can't stop repeating.
[06:29.379] Can you see the secret exit? The false wall in obsession?
[06:39.850] You’ll only fit through the doorway when you relinquish your possessions.
[06:51.534] So leave everything you've stolen that you can't give back,
[07:03.018] and don't replace what you've been missing
[07:07.990] until you know what you're lacking.
[07:14.323] Leave everything you've borrowed and kept for yourself.
[07:25.428] You can’t unbreak our broken leases holding on to broken pieces, so return them!
[07:33.235] No guilt, no sorry speeches.
