The Holes in These Walls
Since we met, I have chased after you
Somehow you've always known what I was going to do
My broken body never keeps me down for long
I love how right it feels when all my plans go wrong
In every shadow... I am there
Behind every curtain... you know I'm there
I hear your laughter in each word you don't say
When the lights go out, the cats and mice will play
Great big schemes always seem to fall apart
You draw the bow, I draw an X across my heart
The doors are locked and I begin to go insane
You set the dog on me, delight in all my pain
Drop the anvil, light the fuse
Burn through every tired excuse
I run at you with butcher knife in hand
Sometimes I do these things I don't fully understand
Years creep by but old habits never die
We both have appetites we'll never satisfy
No hope of leaving when the children love us so
There are much darker themes that children never know
In every shadow... I am there
Behind every curtain, old friend... you know I'm there
I hear your laughter in each word you don't say
When the lights go out, the cats and mice will play
Somehow you've always known what I was going to do
My broken body never keeps me down for long
I love how right it feels when all my plans go wrong
In every shadow... I am there
Behind every curtain... you know I'm there
I hear your laughter in each word you don't say
When the lights go out, the cats and mice will play
Great big schemes always seem to fall apart
You draw the bow, I draw an X across my heart
The doors are locked and I begin to go insane
You set the dog on me, delight in all my pain
Drop the anvil, light the fuse
Burn through every tired excuse
I run at you with butcher knife in hand
Sometimes I do these things I don't fully understand
Years creep by but old habits never die
We both have appetites we'll never satisfy
No hope of leaving when the children love us so
There are much darker themes that children never know
In every shadow... I am there
Behind every curtain, old friend... you know I'm there
I hear your laughter in each word you don't say
When the lights go out, the cats and mice will play
