lyrics
These Are the Rooms
If these ceiling could speak we wouldn’t need a T.V.
With so much life having gone on beneath
Some old brown eyes that once stared above
Whispering thoughts about getting on
And traveling places we’ll never know
And inside we’re doing it all again
Fucked up like we’ve always been
We’re lucky we stand but it’s all right
We do it all the time and we’re by fine
The faces framed on your wall
They laugh at your from your view
As you talk yourself into corners
Of places you once knew
And I learned about you by going through your things
When your back was turned and my eyes wandering
Pictured tacked on the wall, from five years ago
When there was less of you to know
When it was hard and long to think
These are the rooms where we pick up our lives in the morning
With whatever light comes through
The bedroom window in white shapes that have
Nothing to do with me or you
So, who will see you off to work
Walking snowed sidewalks
Disbelieving in the telephone poles
Cause you hear the word the heart too much
Muttered on the radio by some fuck
As you close your eyes and count your knives
And try to make it all all right
And it’s been hard and long to think
These are the rooms where we push off our days in the evening
With whatever light comes through
The bedroom window in white shapes that have
Nothing to do with me or you
What could have been, don’t ever tell
You don’t know now and you never will
Stef Chura’s debut “Messes” seems straightforward on its surface, but her unpredictable song structures give it depth and edge. Bandcamp Album of the Day Feb 7, 2017
