Originally Released on the album `Imaginary Walls Collapse' on Song, by Toad Records, July 2013.

lyrics

A scrape on Sunday night
a scrape across my heart
and I thought I was getting better

I didn't understand
that our house was built
of sand
and that blood would taste
so bitter

I didn't know how to read
I didn't know how to take it
It's something that a child can see
and an adult's eyes
to erase it

From beneath the sheets
the ghostly arms
have spilled out
onto this lowly weather

La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-ah

You saved a map I drew
standing on the avenue
(and you) thought it was
a picture

Describing sunshine to
someone you once knew
is like crawling into thistles.

I didn't know how to read
I didn't know how to take it
It's something that a child can see
and an adult's eyes
to erase it

From beneath the sheets
the ghostly arms
have spilled out
onto this lowly weather

La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-ah
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-ah...
