The flowers on my wallpaper

Keep on changing shape

One day a sun the next a skeleton

While I slept all the utensils

In my cupboard switched place

I feel so heavy I sink right through the floor

A bird trapped in our attic keeps on singing

I heard a ring circle the drain

Oh the ones I love don't know it

The ones I love don't know

Oh the ones I love don't know it

I don't let it show

Just at the back of my tongue I hold it all

My fear flavors everything bitter

While I slept I dreamt I called your name

And you looked through me

My heart grows heavy I drag it on the floor

Some word trapped

In a vessel keeps on bleeding

I write it down on everything that I own

Oh the ones I love don't know it

The ones I love don't know

Oh the ones I love don't know it

I don't let it show
