That House on the Hill (6/8/2008)

That old house on the hill torments me so
Every night it seems to fill my whole window
It represents the calm and comfort that I cannot have
I want to buy it
And burn it to the ground

So I work hard
Labor so I may complete my task
Passion drives me to my end
Until I finally find myself the owner
Of that house on the hill

But the time passed is too long
And now I can only see myself snug inside it
That house on the hill

I spend all my time in that house
Cherish its shelter
My love for it consumes me
For a while

But before I know it
It has begun to bore me
I must just leave it behind
Let it rot on the hill
But it was not meant to be alone
And so I must give it to someone else

I tried to leave without looking back
But now I see that new tenant
Treasuring his new lovely home
And I cannot help but wish to again feel as he does
In that house on the hill
