Drawn into the frost on the glass
Was a map pointing to my secret hiding place
It lead you to the tree with the split in
It's trunk on the way into your family's yard
In that tree you saw
I brought the dog back to life

I watch you from the branches
While you stared from the ground
With a look I couldn't understand
So I said: leave me alone
If your only words are ugly ones
And you just smiled and said
Come and show me how it's done

You dug up your old bird
And you held her to your chest
As I breathed life back into her lungs
And she blinked and flapped her wings
She sang a familiar song
Before she took to the air
And cut a path into the woods

And then I cried
Because all my life
I have known something was off
But you just shrugged
And said: it ain't just you

Slipping on the pavement
Where we ran from the ghosts
That you saw behind the cellar door
That's the way that you showed me
That I wasn't quite alone
That you'd also touched the dead before
