lyrics

Try to find your feet, and just walk right out of here
and you'll try to be discrete, so they wont notice
but they'll watch you leave
please take only what you plan to keep
you cant hide what you wear on your sleeve

So hurry home to clean your teeth
brush off that blood from a bitten tongue
When you lie down to go to sleep
the whole room breathes

Now there's a stranger in our house

Now theres a stranger in our house
and I dont know a way for us to make it out

its not the time and its not this place
its the way the stairs have grown
and they halls that they will haunt are
the most traveled but least known
the only way outs the way you came
