Paper House
(will this seemingly endless torture end?)
this broken home encompasses all
the paper-built walls continue to fall
how do i explain the time that fades?
and the darkness that comes in continuous shades?
of despair and alone, hopeless dreams met
these hearts, they never seem to fit
i wait in the shadows, a warning face
that's trapped in a mask of childish grace
Chorus:
in closing your eyes
can you see your fate?
as another one dies
does a heart turn to hate?
and can you feel me holding you
in a heartless embrace?
(how can i grasp what i cannot feel?)
try to feel me hold you closely
stop this everlasting hateful boasting
in this home of thin walls, everyone listens
and in your speaking, your personality is christened
i kill myself over and over again
suicide, committing myself to somewhere i've never been
my heart is built of ice and stone, holds
the secrets i never show
how do we know what love really is?
no one has ever experienced it
repeat chorus twice
whisper: how do we know what love really is?.....no one will ever experience it
