Strange Ceilings from Idle Ray by Idle Ray

The house where you used to live
On what used to be your street
Someone else lives there now
Someone you used to kiss
Someone you used to be
A memory
Has it been long enough to give them up?
The page is blank, sacrosanct
Those days were dumb
I followed you up the stairs
We noticed the kitchen creek
The clatter from the basement drums
An unmonumental night
With underattended dreams vanishing
Has it been long enough to give them up?
I know it's not obvious, but wait for us
Words with many meanings
Kept you sleeping beneath strange ceilings
Feelings predicated on when they'd expire
Memorial Day weekend felt dishonest and uneven
This was supposed to be a more important time
I know it's not obvious, but wait for us.
