After the pain you inflicted
I still cared through all these years
And nothing’s even changed
It always ends in tears
Change
Differential Settlement

I’m deconstructing a house
Removing every layer and brick
Searching for the foundation beneath
Causing everything to unstick
Figuring it out now
The house was built wrong
Remodeling or changing tenants
Wasn’t the problem all along
Because that first layer
Didn’t know how to stay
With every earthquake
It just chips away
So I need to start over
Uncover the mystery
Thirty-two years
Holds a lot of history
Closer

I never thought we’d get close enough
But I learned the changes of your tone
From joking around in a group of people
To the disheartened frustration you’ve shown
The care when speaking to your sick dog
That I’d hear sometimes as you’d let me go
Distinguishable differences in your voice
That you let me close enough to know
