Lyrics Okkervil River

Okkervil River

The Room I'm Hiding In

Where once was desperation, now just medication

The bathroom walls have always been so scribbled on, just

like your skin

That that's the room I'm hiding in is just a vindication

So hang the flag at half-mast for a blonde girl with a

leg cast

We lay up in that unlit room and no one spoke, and no one

moved

Until the air filled up with fear I've never felt my body

disappear so fast

I burned your dissertation, I spurned the celebration

You'll find me down this dirty hall I'm hiding behind

this silent wall

But in my darkest midnight I'll still, take an invitation

Oh, I will take an invitation, oh I will take an

invitation
