Steer clear of the house that his father built I heard that's it's nothing but broken wood Eventually he tore the whole thing down He sleeps with a bottle of stolen pills Escape to a place where he'd meet with her And shovels bury things within his soul But he knew she wouldn't save him She was the thief She was the time That wore away His paradise He just wants to feel Like he did that night But it's not the same Decay is blind Steer clear of the house up upon the hill Things never appear as they probably should Exhale and let the smoke cover the town Betrayed by the tales that his mother told No truth in the things that were in those books If he jumps into the water he might drown But it makes him feel alive She was the thief She was the time That wore away His paradise He just wants to feel Like he did that night But it's not the same Decay is blind He holds her for a moment and then she's gone From him She was the thief She was the time He gave to her His paradise He just wants to feel Like he did that night But it's not the same Decay is blind
