Observatory Mansions - Nicole Dollanganger

Time scurries away from us like field mice

Out through the holes in our walls

Lost to the dark night

Heal me up again

Everything I love gathers dust inside my chest

And all the love lost was the love that I kept

In coffins and boxes, a museum of the dead

It’s time I let go, let the darkness claim them

Heal me up again

Heal me up again

Carved out of chalk

Out of wax, out of wood

Saints, dolls and angels

In pews they all stood

They said it’s time

To give all that I’ve found

It’s time to give it back

To the ground

And one day they will knock

The buildings down

Like vomit our ghosts

Will all spill out
