Board Up The House

The streets have gone dark

They've been dark for days

We board up the house

Hide upstairs and wait and wait

Just outside

We hear awful sounds

Cower in bed

And think of ourselves only

The last lights are all fire

We let the heat thrive

Panicked a week

Starved just as long

We're two signs of life

Our doors are marked

Desperate chants of

"Help will come

Help will come

Can't try to leave

Help will come, finally"

The last lights are all fire

Let the heat thrive

Turn the seas sour

Bleed the ground dry

I won't wait

You'll give up with me

No one comes

And we rot in bed

No one comes

And the boards stay up
