I thought this was a through street
turns into turns out
it’s a dead end now
but I’ve been this way before
to get to Some Place Else
come through, I didn’t want to
I guess I didn’t remember
where am I right this now?
the house is quiet
but I hear long-ago sounds
why were she doing this to me?
peaceful before the portal of her
come through, I didn’t want to
I guess I didn’t remember
the taste of lemon on my lips
and onion burned my finger tips
come through, who decided I do?
peaceful before the portal of you
peaceful before the portal of you
peaceful before the portal of you
