"THE HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT"



Open door so I walk inside
Close my eyes, find my place to hide
And I shake as I take it in
Let the show begin 

Open my eyes just to have them closed again
Well on my way, but on my way to where I've been
It follows me as it takes me in its fog
I twist away as I give this world the nod 

Open door so I walk inside
Close my eyes, find my place to hide
And I shake as I take it in
Let the show begin 

Open my eyes just to have them closed once again
Don't want control
As it takes me down and down and down again
Is that the moon
Or just a light that lights this dead end street
Is that you there
Or just another demon that I meet 

The higher you are, the farther you fall
The longer the walk, the farther you crawl
My body, my temple, this temple it tilts
Step into the house that Jack built 

The higher you are, the farther you fall
The longer the walk, the farther you crawl
My body, my temple, this temple it tilts
Step into the house that Jack built 

Open door as I walk inside
Swallow me so the pain subsides
And I shake as I take it in
Let the show begin 

The higher you are, the farther you fall
The longer the walk, the farther you crawl
My body, my temple, this temple it tilts
Yes I am... 

Open my eyes
It swallows me
Is that you there
I twist away
