I am Building a House

Lyrics

I am building a house But it has no salt for melting the outside I am laying these floors to splint me with splinters and line me with turpentine Cause these were days when I couldn't think to make it another way I am building a house But it has no ceiling or attic or basement I am painting the walls with dirt from by fingers and spit up from old loves Cause these were nights when I couldn't think to make it another way I am building a house And life will be quiet with no interruptions I am heating the rooms when I'm bending to please you with mouth open wide And something on the riser's rotting And something on the walls is peeling When you are in my insides And you are in my insides I am screaming a name Cause I couldn't think to say in another way
