lyrics

This house is haunted by silence
These walls are mocking my loneliness
At the bottom of the bottle is where we'll meet
You're the reason I skipped a
Beat
A mountain of feelings weighs down on you
The ice has taken its place in me too
The storm is bending the walls in me
Now the wolves are singing for nobody

The moon will always
Bring the stars
And the night
Will lead you home

My house of silence
Will be my end

You placed your hands into the open flame
You fade to ash and scatter in the wind
The sails on our ship they're not holding on
The closest shore is where we came from
Now all your love was spilled into the sea
Don't tell me now how you feel incomplete
I'll burn my bridges I'll sink this boat
I'll swim if I must just to go back home

The moon will always
Bring the stars
And the night
Will lead you home

My house of silence
Will be my end
The walls of confinement
Will never distend

My house was built out of spite and hate
The splinters left in my hands still ache
You built a ship with a broken heart
And you let the wind move us apart
The ghosts in the hallway scream louder now
Do you still sleep all alone somehow
I know we feel the same loneliness
This house stays silent
And so will I

The moon will always
Bring the stars
And the night
Will lead you home

And I am not alone

This house is haunted by silence
These walls are mocking my loneliness
At the bottom of the bottle is where we'll meet
You're the reason I skipped a beat
This house is haunted by silence
These walls are mocking my loneliness
At the bottom of the bottle is where we'll meet
You're the reason I skipped a beat
