Lyrics

There's a house with no door

I'm living there

At nights it gets cold

And the days are hard to bear inside

There's a house with no roof

So, the rain creeps in

Falling through my head

As I try to think out time

I don't know you, you say you know me

That may be so, there's so much that I am unsure of

You call my name, but it sounds unreal

I forget how I feel, my body's rejecting the cure

There's a house with no bell

But then nobody calls

I sometimes find it hard to tell

If any are alive at all outside

There's a house with no sound

Yes, it's quiet there

There's not much point in words

If there's no one to share in time

I've learned my lines, I know them so well

I am ready to tell whoever will finally come in

Of the line in my mind that's cold in the night

It doesn't seem right when there's that little dark figure running

Won't somebody help me?

There's a house with no door

There's no livings there

One day it became a wall

Well, I didn't really care at the time

There's a house with no light

All the windows are sealed

Overtaxed and strained

Now nothing is revealed but time

I don't know you, you say you know me

That may be so, there's so much that I am unsure of

You call my name, but it sounds unreal

I forget how I feel, my body's rejecting the cure

Won't somebody help me?
