Lyrics
The yellow armchair from the Barnardo's on Princess Road
Is the first thing I'll carry up all three flights of stairs.
One pot for egusi, one good knife for the yam,
A turntable that hums a low, electric prayer.
My own two hands will learn the cold gloss of the paint,
A different shade of grey for a different kind of rain.
[Chorus]
This room is my own.
The good, sharp feeling of being alone.
This weave is my own.
Every loose thread leading me home.
[Verse 2]
Two monstera plants for the corner by the glass.
No more second-hand silence that you tried to make last.
“You’ll be rattling in here,” you said, through the Tuesday afternoon steam,
My hands tracing the rim of a mug from a better dream.
I'll learn the dialect of the boiler, the sigh of the floor,
And I won't have to translate my quiet anymore.
[Chorus]
This room is my own.
The good, sharp feeling of being alone.
This weave is my own.
Every loose thread leading me home.
[Bridge]
Unpicking the stitch of your name from my days,
One careful motion, a deliberate space.
[Chorus]
This room is my own.
The good, sharp feeling of being alone.
This weave is my own.
Every loose thread leading me home.
(Music cuts to silence for 4 seconds)
[Outro]
And a lock on the door.
A good one.
