lyrics

We never should have to apologise for the way we are
Not now

This is what the guy came here for
Gold, some cash and take a piece o'
Stuff lying around unwanted
Unused this house is haunted
Stench of dead lives unlived
Let's tear this open, lift the lid
From off this mess, it's for the best
And let the guy now lift the rest
He can swipe the carpets if he wanna
Needs to steal 'em, best not leave-a
Thing left in this house of doom
I want to sit in empty rooms
As spiders weave webs about my feet
Tied up with my internal beat
The sound that pumps inside my head
Beats me, ties me to this bed
With lurid nightmares and I'm sick
So stat away people, that’s my tip

And there's a reason the foam will never meet
The world at large, the world at large
And there's a reason my face cannot be seen
By the world at large, the world at large
I've built this wall, you've built it too
It's for protection, it's what I do
Cos I've built this tower, you've built it too
We'll never meet it's what we do
And there's a reason the world will never meet
The foam at large, the foam at large
The world at large
