lyrics

You could build a home in my head
With mold in the walls from leaks in the ceiling
Picket fence left half undone
And garbage spilling out onto the road
Borrowed sanities for money I still owe
When the walls come down, we'd die and...

chorus:
Madness is my friend and I'm feeding him again
I'm draining memories from my head
They're pouring in, then out again
I'm totally alone, can't wait to break my bones
And let the nails rust in my skin
That holds me in, it's wearing thin
It's troubling, the shape I'm in, I'll never stop

You could be the ghost in my bed
A paranoid schizo deity
Try to rip your hands from my neck
I can't wake up, I wonder if I'm dead
Like something from a book I've never read
Still the story got me crying...

If you could see your home in my head
With mold in the walls from leaks in the ceiling
Picket fence left half torn down
And garbage spilling out onto the road
Broken sanities for money I still owe
When the walls come down we'll surely die
