Still at the Window

**[Verse 1]** The lace has learned the shape of dust The room forgot my name The little bed is dressed in white But nothing stays the same My painted cheek is flaking now My hands are folded tight I watch the window silvering With another dying light **[Pre-Chorus]** Someone said they’d come back soon Someone touched my dress Now the spiders mend the moon With threads of loneliness **[Chorus]** I am still at the window Still where you left me Porcelain heart in a house gone grey Still at the window Waiting so softly For footsteps that faded away **[Verse 2]** The wallpaper has darkened Like bruises under skin The roses on the coverlet Have let the mildew in My little snout is cold as clay My eyes are black and wide I saw the garden disappear One winter at a time **[Pre-Chorus]** Someone said, “Don’t be afraid” Someone closed the door Now I hear the floorboards sigh For what they held before **[Chorus]** I am still at the window Still where you left me Porcelain heart in a house gone grey Still at the window Waiting so softly For footsteps that faded away **[Bridge]** If I could cry, the paint would run If I could sleep, I’d dream Of warm hands lifting me again Out of this lace and seam But dolls remember differently We do not beg or move We only keep the shape of love Until it turns to proof **[Chorus]** I am still at the window Still where you left me Dust on my lashes, dusk in my dress Still at the window Faithful and empty Loved once — then left to the dust **[Outro]** Someone said they’d come back soon The glass is turning white I sit inside the cobweb moon And wait another night [haunted music box]
