House of Smoke and Mirrors - Matthew Good

There’s the house

There’s the doorway

Been locked out

The lights are out anyway

And loosely reconditioned

To be just so refined

A last grasp at the life worth living

In these standard shoes and what’s left of my lines

You can see right through me

Hey

I’ve been thinking

Why don’t we get out of here tonight?

Get in the car and just start driving

Fuck them if they can’t take a joke

Right?

I’ve fallen asleep again

And when I wake up you won’t be here

Don’t you think I don’t know why?

I’ve been asleep for years

You can see right through me
