lisa cerbone - ruthless order lyrics

ruthless order

there’s an urgent light in your eye for ruthless order
everything is put away safe inside
keep the windows doors shut
everybody is safe
keep the television on
and you don’t let yourself think
stack the dishes one by one so neatly
hard to find the time to feel a thing when there is so much to do
she isn’t even through the door
she’s already ridiculed you
reminding you how it is all for your own good
some days her words cut through like wire
other days you shake them off like loose rain
all the nights you lay awake and let them burn through
you’re not a child in her house
still you live by her laws

there’s a scarlet inner world
that you don’t have to control

you know where the dust gathers
where the rugs get worn
you hear the voice behind you:
“don’t forget there’s more.”
something moves through all those winter branches
your eyelids shut so hard;
you really do pray

(little scrubby music, bmi)
