lyrics

Stare at the walls, it's all you really have left to do
You have done all the talking here, and all the listening too
You are alone here, no one to lend a sympathetic ear
Not even some poor mute spirit is ranging around

There are no ghosts here
No one has dwelled long enough in this place
To leave a memory or a trace
Let alone a soul behind

People who've lived here before, all they have left behind
Are sloughed skin cells, toe nails, and their aromas
All of the things that they've cooked
All of the people they've fucked
And you can clean until the floor boards squeak
But that's the only voice that you're gonna hear, because

There are no ghosts here
No one has dwelled long enough in this place
To leave a memory or a trace
Let alone a soul behind

Except for you
You left yourself in every place you've ever dwelled
In every hole where you have hid
You still live
And you're growing thin. . .

There are no ghosts here
No one has dwelled long enough in this place
To leave a memory or a trace
Let alone a soul behind
There are no ghosts here
No one has dwelled long enough in this place
To leave a memory or a trace
Let alone a soul behind
