lyrics

Stop coming home so hysterical, holding out your hand won't invoke a miracle. the world falls apart, you're putting pieces together. See the end oh so Biblical, don't you know its revolution, not revelation that brought us here? 

Spread yourself so so minimal the smoke you see is not literal; where you gonna run when the door is locked behind you? when you're splitting hairs, so so cynical, are you hot or cold in your direction? the sun's gonna rise will you carry the night in your pocket?
 
Like a child in a house, like a child helpless in a house. see the smoke but you can't get out. see the smoke but you can't get out. you're like a child helpless in a house.
