One house hurts
And one house aches
Listen to the hearts just
Break and break
Asking again
How much more can we take?
From the demons inside
Now all awake
Leaving nothing but chaos
Behind in their wake.
Disillusioned
Jaded eyes
They said sky's the limit
Then we found the sky,
Sitting in the dark
Wondering why
Love's only unconditional
For a matter of time
So hand me the clock
So I can rewind.
And we're begging for something,
Anything to give
When you can't feel your heart
How do you live?
So take its key
And lock up the sin
Throw it away
And forget where you've been.
Mirrors of blood shot eyes
Of bitten lips
Holding on through the tsunami
Surviving the crests and dips
Keep your eyes dry
As skin tears and rips
From debris and stones
You'll take every hit
And you'd trade all your could-haves
For one should-have-been.
Black hole in your chest
That keeps eating away
More and more and more
As everything slips away
The voice in your head
Pleading "someone please stay"
As the sanity goes
And strays farther away
Your palms are bleeding
As you're counting the days
Til the demons really truly
Lead you far astray
You would go back
But you don't know the way
And what good what it do
When you can no longer say
You're something close
To what might be sane.
