Under water
Why does our house have a basement?
Under ground is under water
This is where the Great Plains end
In the Gulf of Mexico
Go to sleep now
Go to sleep
Rose?
Noah?
If there's only water underground
Is my mother buried under water?
Don't be silly
She's safe and sound
They buried her above the ground
In a dry little house
Not even a mouse can get in, I bet
Listen, your daddy's clarinet
Goodnight Caroline
Noah, go to sleep
Stop bothering the night
I'm glad you came back to work today
Sorry I hid from you
Someday you won't
Someday we'll talk again
Just gotta wait
Will we be friends then?
Weren't never friends
Household rules and (house-)
Small decrees (-hold rules and)
Unsuspecting bring us this (small decrees, unsuspecting)
Secret little tragedies (bring us this costly, quiet victories)
Caroline
Mm-hm?
What's it like under water?
