(work in progress)
He says he'll be home by midnight
Don't bother to call
Now he's turning down the boulevard
Looking for a house he's never seen before
A stranger greets him in the doorway
And ushers him inside
There's darkness all around him
And it's feeding off his lies

Another accidental lie
In his accidental life
Another accidental lie
Ends his accidental life

The stranger in the doorway
Is stranger than he seemed
Consumed by rage and passion
He ties up their son

Another accidental lie
In his accidental life
Another accidental lie
Ends their accidental life

The silence in the car is heavy like humidity
The awkwardness between us provides a sense of humility
With your body next to mine it's a miracle I can breathe
Your sigh is barely audible to me

Are you nervous?
Are you scared?
Do I make you tremble with my stare?
Are you wary?
Are you weak?
Does this pretense burden you like me?

I imagine you lips feel like gossamer
Soft and oh so frail
In my mind you skin tastes like milk and honey like the holy land

I am nervous
I am scared
You make me tremble with your stare
I am wary
And I am weak
This pretense burdens me so heavily

I'm reading The Magician's Nephew, and researching Narnia.  These lyrics came into my head:

Maybe we'll travel by wardrobe

Maybe we'll save the world

Maybe we're meant for something better

Than the things we predict will unfold

I'm the catastrophe

Rising from the boiling sea

My tidal surge or wrath

Floods the homes of sinners

Bow before my act of attrition

I purge the earth

The Golden Calf falls

I scourge the land

Fire consumes the Lambs
