lyrics

Oh my God, it's hot and messy in this house
I can smell the trash in the kitchen
Burning it's way out
Ya tell me I've got nothing to lose
By living here
I tell you I've got nothing to gain
But hesitation and fear

And these stairs they squeak and pop
Giving my position away
The bar below spills drunks into the street
And at the top of their lungs I hear them singing

Lie to me wrap me up in linen take me to the water
Tell me that I'm blessed, that this mess I've made
Is cleaner than the rest

Oh my Lord, it's cramped and fucked up in this house
Just give me a weekend by the water
Come on I want out
All bets are off now baby
And I'm pulling out my teeth
Maybe my gums hold the answer
To who I need to be

And if these walls could talk
I swear they'd give all of my secrets away
From the bar below I spill into the street
And at the top of my longs I, I'm singing

Lie to me wrap me up in linen take me to the water
Tell me that I'm blessed, that this mess I've made
Is cleaner than the rest
