Thrift Store Jesus Painting - Chris Staples

I shook hands with the clientele

I meandered the halls of hell

I bit my tongue

I ignored the smell for you

Now that it’s over

Behind me stands

The dust covered ruin

That we built by hand

Brick by brick

100 stories tall

It’s a tower of memories

Blurred by alchohol

We crossed riverbeds of bone

We used skulls as stepping stones

Cut mountain road through solid rock

Once we were fearless

Now we can’t even talk

A kitchen table

2 empty chairs

Your slender shadow

Climbs the stairs

Some rotten fruit

A stack of mail

Thrift store Jesus painting

Hanging on a nail

Castles in the sand

Built in a day

Washing away
