Too Many Homes

V6

[Verse 1] I built a room for every version Gave each one a different key One keeps receipts, one burns the evidence One says the fault belongs to me I feed them scraps from the same cupboard Trade my sleep for borrowed time Every door I add gets harder to remember Which one was meant to be mine [Pre-Chorus] Hands full, head split Choose a thread, lose a stitch More arrive, more divide I keep making places I can't survive [Chorus] Which life gets the oxygen? Which name do I answer when the phone begins? I keep adding floors to a house on fire Then call it progress, call it desire Pick one pulse, let the others go But every new door says, "Don't you know?" I made too many homes in me Now one has to breathe [Verse 2] There’s a calendar under the mattress With appointments crossed in code A half-finished plan in the kitchen drawer And a map to a town I never chose I wear each promise for an hour Then hang it back behind the rest The more I prove I can become somebody The less I recognize the guest [Pre-Chorus] Hands full, head split Choose a thread, lose a stitch More arrive, more divide I keep making places I can't survive [Chorus] Which life gets the oxygen? Which name do I answer when the phone begins? I keep adding floors to a house on fire Then call it progress, call it desire Pick one pulse, let the others go But every new door says, "Don't you know?" I made too many homes in me Now one has to breathe [Bridge] Stop—count—one, two What remains when the crowd falls through? Not the plan, not the proof Just the hand that still reaches for you [Final Chorus] This life gets the oxygen This voice is the one I answer again I can leave some rooms unfinished I can let the missing names stay missing Pick one pulse, let the others go Make a wound into a place to grow I made too many homes in me Now one can breathe [Outro] One can breathe One can breathe
