The whole world lives inside my house But I haven't seen anyone in a while Shut my eyes as I walk across the street To show that I have faith in me I have faith in me I have faith in me I have faith in me We have all tried building houses before Watched them crumble in the scores Broken the hammers and worn out the saws We only own what we buy, but when you're old and alone that's nothing at all We only reap what we sow, but when you're dust, so is your crop Were all hiding in half a bottle Full when the struggle started Empty, when the battles over. Mine's now empty but I feel far from battle-worn Just torn Bursting at the seams Never have I seen this light of day As we take away from our dreams and change I'm planning the next great escape One where I can look myself in the face The house we built is without a single crooked nail What you should have done is not just a missed oppurtunity But a disease that lingers Linger to long and it becomes an infected thorn To many thorns amounts to a Life Spent Counting Them All I'm planning the next great escape We have all tried building houses before Watched them crumble in the scores Broken the hammers and worn out the saws We only own what we buy, when you're old and alone thats nothing at all We only reap what we sow, when you're dust, so is your crop
