Lyrics

A house, inside I'll show you where to hide And every night the Windows are shuttered tightly We have a house inside A spectral place where Our inner selves reside Without a trace to see there And inside the house The entry hall receives guests The dusty decor Ancestral portraits look down Suspecting what you've guessed Look up now The stairwell, upwinding The landing's shafted with light The stairwell, upwinding In light the dust is shining You've not seen light like it It's blinding and it's perfect Each grain of dust glowing Floats slow for close inspection Each grain of dust dryly Is just a cell of skin History drifts highly Suspended, floating, flying Awaiting Awaiting resurrection Ascending the stairwell This greeting seems like farewell The landing, you've reached it Your waiting image greets you Antique and heavy The mirror that is hung here Imperfect and convex Distorts as it reflects It looks now much more so The twisting of your torso Reflect now, your eyes Dark somehow in the light Gaze deeply, what's in there? Escape has made a shape there A house inside I'll show you where to hide
