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
(Heal me up again) the buildings down
Like vomit, our ghosts will all spill out
And one day they will knock
(Heal me up again) the buildings down
Like vomit, our ghosts will all spill out
