Welcome to the house of despair and misery
What exactly causes this is a mystery
As soon as you arrive the sun hides
Every piece of your peace flies
Where your heart is spilling lies

Here in this place hysteria prevails
It is a madhouse of constant waiting
Sometimes it's good sometimes it's not
You wait for the demise to be over

You see them falling apart
You feel like it's tearing apart
It is a place of despair and misery

When you come the sun stops shining
Welcome to reality, it is mine
I live in a residence of melancholy and distress

Scared of what the next step is
Scared of what you come home to see
When will it end or begin?

The building is a mystery it hides
Within its insides, shattered souls lie
Do not shy away from leaving
Do leave if you understand the meaning
Spoken words make it worse

The air is tense
You'll feel numb in here soon
The responsibility is crawling up on you
After all, it's the house of despair and distress

You have to take the reins
If you don't want to live in this shadow
Swallow your voice and try to forget
Cross your heart and hope to die
Within the building, your soul will lie

Not always are you in the control
It will put a toll on your mental health
It's like an endless roller coaster
Once up, once low
Try to make your emotions not show

The house of hopelessness
It waits for you every day
Every day you return home
Terrified of what you will find
