Biographies of Houses

about

The back story of the boxes we live in and an ode to the secret lives of rooms.

lyrics

Try to think of all the places you’ve been in your life,
Chances are more than half of your time is spent inside,
Walls put in place just to keep you safe,
Memories gather like cobwebs in ceiling space,
Fading growth marks left against the wall,
Could someone so small really imagine growing so tall?
Who was here before? What’s in store from the past?
Who did that? Left tracks across the kitchen floor,
And does it matter that mirror was shattered long before
You ever set foot through that front door?
You may think, maybe, this is your place alone,
But every man’s house was really just someone else’s home.

It’s curious how empty rooms reminisce,
And dream back to their own young days of bliss,
Full and vibrant, when there was nothing they missed,
Just so proud to have a crowd to coexist with,
They recall the times when friends had gathered,
Between their walls was the space that mattered,
But they also remember bad nights within them,
They heard the shouts of anger; would quietly listen,
A hole in the wall in the shape of a fist, then,
I wonder if these rooms know how much I miss them.
