mt. oriander - rare frog coin كلمات الأغنية

i used to live here
pale yellow walls once marked the names and ages
with lines drawn in pen to chart our growth
like the room was a living document
before it was painted over and made new again
a house is more than four walls
there’s a history in its bones
that reach deep, deep down
like roots or a crypt

in our bedroom, my brother and i once fought
with tube socks as boxing gloves
before he knocked my loose tooth out
in her room, my younger sister and i held surf competitions
feet planted on pillows as we jumped on her bed
here, my older sister painted “wishing wizards” to sell door to door
necklaces made with clay heads of gray_haired men
their hats entwined on string
the local newspaper covered it

outside, playing catch with our dad as wind rustled through leafy trees
our mother baking easter cookies to decorate
yellow frosting for chicks, brown for bunnies

now sold, as my parents move closer by
i like to think that the markings are still there
hidden under layers of paint
like a secret history
