the hanging man part two (without a home) - ruune lyrics

no one will ask you to leave
they will simply leave the door open a little longer
when the ghosts in your house
like mothers
will scream to shut the front door at every moments notice. “dont let the draft get in”
they’ll say
but there is no roof on this house,and it has been snowing all winter long. the wolves will nip at your heels when you come and go
but the ghosts will weep rivers of their upbringings
how the illness in their t**th
keeps them gnawing at bones like broken tree branches its not their fault
the ghosts will cry
i used to be sick with wolf myself
that makes it better for awhile
knowing that such an sage lives within these walls
of your home you will start to speak
softer and softer
until you can barely breath out the dreams
you used to sing so loudly
travelers will find you on a map
and you will smile warmly and nod
but remind them to shut the door behind them
and not to wear hats indoors:
the wolves don’t like men who wear hats indoors
the ghosts don’t either
you stopped wearing your hat a long time ago
the one that kept you warm after the roof went away
you convinced yourself that canvassing your shoulders and back with coat upon coat
would stop the headcolds from coming
but they never stop coming
until eventually the rotating rules
flip to the left again
in way you do not understand
like a chessboard made up of squares
with all the colors of the rainbow
but no checkmate
you have broken another rule
and you see the door standing just a bit more ajar, left open for you to walk out
you will never be ejected from this game
you will only be made to feel
like the only way to lose
is to keep playing
