[Verse 1] I used to move with courage Now I break by dawn I had a migratory purpose Now I fly like one impossible swan A bed like the back of a hearse is You wouldn't recognize the person I'm different all day I live inside of a terseness My heart just looks like pursed lips All heard opinions verdicts The ones I love know no one A bed like the back of a hearse is You wouldn't recognize the person I'm different all day I live inside of a terseness My heart just looks like pursed lips All heard opinions verdicts The ones I love know no one [Chorus] There's a man in my house He will stand in my doorway
He's grinding his teeth He's breathing through me There's a man in my mouth He will say what he wants to say He lives on his knees Living means I live with me [Verse 2] I used to know a tall tree By the top I'd lay A part of me left long ago, fell long ago And a little shred of me has always stayed [Chorus] There's a man in my house He will stand in my doorway He's grinding his teeth He's breathing through me There's a man in my mouth He will say what he wants to say He lives on his knees Living means I live with me There's a man in my house There's a man in my house
