Ruth Buzzi Better Watch Her Back

Somewhere between the frozen layers
Sleeps a fragile woman
Waiting for her husband
To remove the shards of glass

The sun
Betrays
The light that it once shed
And daughter cuts the hair

I feel the movement of ghosts in the room
It's hard to watch a child pass
It's hard to watch a child pass
She keeps a photograph locked in her mouth

The smell of turpentine drips from the walls
Forgive and forget. Relive and regret

You're not alone
I've seen the dead arise
The ice will someday thaw
And she will wait no more

The ice will someday thaw
And she will wait no more
You are not alone

The ice will someday thaw
And she will wait no more
You are not alone

I've seen the dead arise
I've seen the dead arise
I've seen the dead arise

I feel the movement of ghosts in the room

She keeps a photograph locked in her mouth

The smell of turpentine drips from the walls
Forgive
Forget
Relive, regret
