This House Is Yours

from Take Heart, It's Almost Over by Mark McCabe

/

about

broadcast all your heartache, find a way around the misery
even though you’ll never see it coming doesn’t mean you can’t prepare
tie off all those loose ends, dry your eyes along with the milk you split
if this is all that’s left to fight for you can fight alone.

but let he without sin cast the first stone
take a bow, pack his bags and find his own way home.
if possession is nine tenths what the law requires then silence,
this house is yours.

splinters of my childhood buried deep but never fully healed,
run my life in ways I’ll always wish you’d never seen
and every act of freedom fully sealed off with a traitors kiss
if man is judged by deeds alone then I’ll be judged by this.

so let he without sin cast the first stone
take a bow, pack his bags and find his own way home.
if possession is nine tenths what the law requires then silence,
this house is yours.

I have never been assured in stepping out the front door
and surely that has been my own mistake
for every day I’ve ever spent blaming the milk for spilling
is another day without my health
it’s one more day without my health

so let he without sin cast the first stone
take a bow, pack his bags and find his own way home.
if possession is nine tenths what the law requires then silence,
this house is yours.
