Stranger, Fable

Took you somewhere quiet
Sundown's silence
Casting ghosts in shadows
Your memory gently fading
Maybe I'm the one that's changing
Woke up hearing voices
Cruel and softly spoken
They whisper 'everybody's leaving'
And I barely got to know them
Stranger, you star in every dream I have
Fable, funny how those feelings pass
So it goes
You would have your visions
Guitars in conversation
You'd sing into the shadows
Your memory gently aging
Knowing you, you'd say I'm the one that's changing
She's a whisper on her own
Like Jessica rings clearer now we've grown
We've no control, not then, not now
She's gone somehow, she's gone somehow
Stranger, you stifle every word I write
Fable, listen to your own advice
No, don't get old and cheap and trite
So it goes

The Boy In The Basement
02:36

The crack in the ceiling's starting to look like a cross
Not upside down but just backwards and leaking
Every day's the same these days, as candles flicker to a fade
We've blown our last bulb in the kitchen
Darkness makes the stories real
The basement door let out a squeal
Behind it we could hear a stranger breathing
And the boy in the basement
Crawls out across the carpet
His spirit is finally speaking
We don't think he'll hurt us
But how could we blame him?
When everybody's home
And he's down there all alone
Makes you wonder what's keeping him waiting
