[Intro] (Instrumental) [Verse 1] Turn the latch, let the dust settle down Last guy kicking through this dead-end town Box sitting center of the hardwood floor Can't shove it back under the bedroom door Moth-chewed sweaters, postcards gone yellow Rust-eaten chains from the boat that went under. [Verse 2] Knock the lid loose, photos scatter on boards Tangled mix tapes, lipstick faded on a collar Faded receipts pile past my knees Ticket stubs from shows we never got to see Wood creaks sharp in the draft from the hall I kick the pile and strike a kitchen match. [Chorus] Drywall cracks split the corner seams From every shout I ever swallowed whole Slam of the doors we both walked through Now pounding blood to EVERYTHING UNSAID. Everything unsaid... [Verse 3] Nail the shutters, let the floor chill seep Vents hum low, and the cold cuts clean Chairs pushed back, blank wall where you used to sit Your boots by the door, prints you never wiped Garden spade hits those half-buried notes Red clay on my hands, rinsing in the sink. [Chorus] Drywall cracks split the corner seams From every shout I ever swallowed whole Slam of the doors we both walked through Now pounding blood to EVERYTHING UNSAID. Everything unsaid... [Bridge] I'M YELLING AT THE BOARDS! I'M YELLING AT THE COLD! STACKED BOXES CRASH DOWN! LOCKS RUST AND SNAP AT LAST! Hear the hinges groan? The wood give way? Spilled heap catching where I threw the match! [Final Chorus] Drywall cracks split the corner seams From every shout I ever swallowed whole Slam of the doors we both walked through Now pounding blood to EVERYTHING UNSAID. Everything unsaid... EVERYTHING UNSAID! [Outro] Ash on the hardwood. Smoke in the rafters. Everything out now. Everything... said. (Instrumental)
