lyrics

Woke up this morning to a poorly written warning from the landlord who was storming the castle that I crashed the night before

The words they spoke to me in a language I could not believe and the feeling it provoked, you see, not unlike a person scorned

And even though I felt evicted and rejected, a sensation unexpected hit me from that piece of paper on the floor

I got a sense that there was something more
To the note that was slipped under the door

Found some coffee and I shook the shivers off me, closed the open window I must’ve climbed in

Got my bearings, found the same old wear and tearings that had battered me and tattered me and scattered all of my belongings

Realized I must be home, what a surprise, not quite relief I’m blurry-eyed but it’s crystal clear what happened again

I got the sense that there was something more
To the note that was slipped under the door
Yeah it’s true I disappear sometimes
But at least the rent’s always on time
