Titie Pecchi Challoy

In the hall, the curtains fall Your name hangs heavy on the wall A cracked old frame, a missing ring And all the house begins to sing You wore that face like a sacred mask I never asked, I never asked Now the wine sits black in the cup And the past won’t let me up Tell me low Tell me slow Who broke the vow? Who stole the gold? The floorboards know The candles lean I see your shadow In the seams Titie Pecchi Challoy Titie Pecchi Challoy He is not your god Titie Pecchi Challoy Say my name, then go Say my name, then go I loved you in the storm Now I love the smoke At the window, rain on glass Your footsteps fading in the past A silver knife, a velvet coat One last lie you let me hold The television burned all night Blue and gold and funeral white Every promise looked like dust Every mercy turned to rust Tell me low Tell me true What was mine? What was you? The saints are gone The bells are cold I hear your laugh Inside the walls Titie Pecchi Challoy Titie Pecchi Challoy He is not your god Titie Pecchi Challoy Say my name, then go Say my name, then go I loved you in the storm Now I love the smoke If I kneel, do you appear? If I bleed, will you stay near? I wore the bruise like a holy sign I wore the dark, I drew the line Now the room is full of dust And every vow has turned to rust Still your shadow comes and stays Like a tune I can’t erase Titie Pecchi Challoy Titie Pecchi Challoy He is not your god Titie Pecchi Challoy Say my name, then go Say my name, then go I loved you in the storm Now I love the smoke Titie Pecchi Challoy Titie Pecchi Challoy He is not your god Titie Pecchi Challoy
