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 |
