The House That Jack Built |
| Open door, so I walk inside |
| Close my eyes, find my place to hide |
| And I shake as I take it in |
| Let the show begin |
| Open my eyes just to have them close again |
| Well on my way, but on my way to where I’ve been |
| It swallows me as it takes me in its fog |
| I twist away as I give this world the nod |
| Open door, so I walk inside |
| Close my eyes, find my place to hide |
| And I shake as I take it in |
| Let the show begin |
| Open my eyes just to have them closed once again |
| Don’t want control |
| As it takes me down and down and down again |
| Is that the moon or just a light that lights this dead-end street? |
| Is that you there or just another demon that I meet? |
| The higher you are |
| The farther you fall |
| The longer the walk |
| The farther you crawl |
| My body, my temple |
| This temple, it tilts |
| Step into the house that Jack built |
| The higher you are |
| The farther you fall |
| The longer the walk |
| The farther you crawl |
| My body, my temple |
| This temple, it tilts |
| Yes, this is the house that Jack built |
| Open door, yes, I walk inside |
| Swallow me so the pain subsides |
| And I shake as I take the sin |
| Let the show begin |
| The higher you are |
| The farther you fall |
| The longer the walk |
| The farther you crawl |
| My body, my temple |
| This temple, it tilts |
| Yes, this is the house that Jack built |
| The higher you are |
| The farther you fall |
| The longer the walk |
| The farther you crawl |
| My body, my temple |
| This temple, it tilts |
| Yes, I am, I am, I am |
| Open my eyes |
| It swallows me |
| Is that you there |
| I twist away |
| Away |
| Away |
| Away |
