Wiping the Page / Greasy Vulture Eyes

[Verse 1]
House of dust
Pale father smells of bad habits
Staring at my little sister 
With those greasy vulture eyes

[Pre-Chorus]
Everything is breaking 
Everything is loud
Everything is ending now

[Chorus]
Heft of the stone in my palm
Ice in the cooling air
Wiping the page 
Wiping the page 
Pulling the thread out clean

[Post-Chorus]
Gone away
Gone away
Oh oh oh

[Verse 2]
Ghost mother 
Folding laundry into white squares
She sees a vacuum in the hall
While I am scrubbing red circles 
Before the dark ink spills 

[Pre-Chorus]
Everything is breaking 
Everything is loud
Everything is ending now

[Chorus]
Heft of the stone in my palm
Ice in the cooling air
Wiping the page 
Wiping the page 
Pulling the thread out clean

[Post-Chorus]
Gone away
Gone away
Oh oh oh

[Bridge]
It is not for me
It is not for my heart
It is for the small laugh 
That never learned how to scream
Washing it away
I wish it all away

[Chorus]
Heft of the stone in my palm
Ice in the cooling air
Wiping the page 
Wiping the page 
Pulling the thread out clean

Gone Away
