I'd like to sneak around your house
When everyone's asleep
Tiptoe across the door-room mat
That used to welcome me
Then gently shut the door
To see a brand-new Christmas tree
And the silence pounds like a kettle drum
And a chill runs through me
[Chorus:]
But does she ever miss me?
I still hear her singing
Just like an orchestra
Just like a painting
With velvet brushes
And wooden framing
She's a familiar Monet
That's worth renaming
The scar
I choked up the dirt, completely hurt
I ran straight through them all
Then pushed aside what's left of pride
And trembled through the hall
And there stands a door you'd seen before
When all you knew you was down
But your perfume breath
Brought peaceful death
On sleepy silver gowns
[Chorus]
Yeah, to wake is such a dreaded thing
To sleep is such a hole
I eat without your company
I drink 'till I unfold
And now hear the end of everything
Just thrown onto the ground
But October fell and broke my shell
And all I knew was down
[Chorus]
