Testo Guy In The Window - NOMARKMORE
Testo della canzone Guy In The Window (NOMARKMORE), tratta dall'album The Elsewhere Color
It's damn near three a.m. the fridge hums like a dying lawnmower
My whole apartment smells like burnt toast and leftover shame
Street outside's empty
Except for old Mrs. Greene yellin' at ghosts again
And that busted lamp on Maple flickerin' like it's Morse-coding run
I'm eating stale cereal from a chipped blue bowl
Milk warm as bathwater yeah kill me right
Look out the window just to check the quiet
And he's there
Same hoodie
Same build
Same tired eyes
But now
He's covered in something dark
Thick shiny
Dripping slow down his sleeve
And he's smiling at me
Wide
Like hey neighbor funny story
He lifts his hand
There's a knife
Or something knife-ish
Metal dirty red
I whisper hell no back up a little
He leans closer to the glass without blinking once
Maybe I'm losing it maybe it's the meds
But he moves when I blink like he crawls in my head
Waves at me slow like a damn greeting card
Tell me why my reflection lookin' like a murder charge
There's a guy in the window drippin' red on the sill
Smilin' like he just walked outta some late-night kill
If he wants my quiet he can take the whole show
'Cause sleep don't visit here nah sleep don't go
There's a guy in the window grinnin' wild in the glow
And he looks like me
Just a version I don't know
Next morning don't feel like morning at all
Sun's barely up
My carpet smells like wet pennies and mold
Pipes cough brown water into the sink
And the neighbors argue louder than the walls can hide
I glance back
He's still there
But closer now
Face smeared red like he tried on fear for makeup
Teeth too white for how nasty he looks
And his grin
Bigger
Like he knows something waiting on my side of the glass
He taps the window
Soft polite like a salesman from hell
Leaves a red smear in the shape of a hand
Dripping slow like syrup
I mutter Bro you payin' rent or what
He tilts his bloody head
Like he agrees
Like he's already moved in
And then it hits me
What if he's not here to replace me
What if he already did
Maybe I'm cracked maybe I'm blind
But he moves when I blink
Stealin' scraps of my mind
Yeah he waves again stiff creepy obscene
Tell me why my reflection drippin' red like a crime scene
There's a guy in the window drippin' red on the sill
Smilin' like he's fresh off some late-night thrill
If he wants my peace he can take my breath
I've been livin' half-alive might as well test death
There's a guy in the window grinnin' wide in the glow
And he looks like me
Just a version I don't know
Maybe he's the anger I never let out
Maybe he's the scream I swallowed in doubt
Maybe he's the part of me that cracked last fall
Yeah maybe he's the truth I don't want at all
There's a guy in the window
But he ain't standin' outside
I'm pressed to the glass now
My hands red my smile wide
There's a knife in my grip
Dripping warm on the floor
And someone inside
Is beggin
Please no more
The guy in the window
Yeah
That's me in the frame
Laughin' soft
Crooked
Finally insane
This whole damn house is breathin
Walls trembling low
And I grin through the blood
'Cause now I finally know
There's a guy in the window
And he looks like me
'Cause he is me
And I'm done letting go
