Am G F
And as it gets dark in this house of hallways
Am G F
And no corridor leads to the stairs
Am G F
With still wet black paint on all the windows
Am G F
We got no clocks cause time don't care here
Am G C
So tell me your name young noble stranger
Am G C
And tell me just what we're doing here
Am G C
Have you painted walls with all the answers
Dm G
Have you hidden doors with all our fears
C G
What he said is the soul's rock hard but the heart's trapped underneath
Am G
And the weight of it all gets enough just to crush the best out of you and me
Am C Am G F
But I swear that there's someone who cares here enough to set us free
Am G
And if the world don't turn just enough to bring her honest
Then I guess we're better off forgotten
Am G F
The walls stay too thin in this house of hallways
Am G F
They let through the echoes and the stares
Am G F
And they'll bleed bright red with scribbled riddles
Am G F
Scratched out of their panels by angered air
Am G C
Cause God knows I've made all my own choices
Am G C
And if I drown alone it's cause I choose
Am G C
To spend my time drinking in the stairwells
Dm G
When we've both got way too much to prove
C G
Cause the soul's rock hard but the heart's trapped underneath
Am G
And the weight of it all gets enough just to crush the best out of you and me
Am C Am G F
But I swear that there's someone who cares here enough to set us free
Am G
And if the world don't turn just enough to bring her honest
Then I guess we're better off forgotten
