"My Falling House" - At Freddy's House

I raise my hands
and stretch the dry skin of old age
all the lines draw an ending
without time for amendments

time went by
my old house became smaller
all my doors seem too narrow
as my shadow grows taller


the stairs inside my falling house
pile the dust of old days
I laze beneath the rusty hatch
where I once locked the sunshine


I am home
I could lay here where the walls tell my story
I rest my head down on the cold floor
I can wait here for a while, before morning


the light inside my falling house
warms the dust of old days
from the roof the open hatch
cuts half my ageing shadow.

"Tempest Girl" - At Freddy's House

hey you, I’m knocking at your door
hey you, they told me you were gone
but I ran
I ran so many miles
just like dust, I’ll wait and sit around


please come out or let me in
can you still just dance with me?
I’ll whistle our song

are you lost or locked away?
are you hiding like a secret?
I’ll find out where you are


hey you, I’m waiting at your door
hey you, you told me you were home
just like rain, you’re running down the stairs
and you move like wind across the floor


will your frail roof hold the storm
while you laugh and dance with me?
a twister growing strong

can I stay and hold you close?
let my long arms be your ceiling
my legs can be your walls
