Lyrics

Open door, so I walk inside
Close my eyes
Find my place to hide
And I shake as I take it in
Let the show begin

Open my eyes
Just to have them close again
Well on my way, yeah
But on my way to where I've been

It swallows me
As it takes me in its fog
I twist away
As I give this world a nod

Open doors so I walk inside
Close my eyes
Find my place to hide
And I shake as I take it in
Let the show begin

Open my eyes
Just to have them close once again
Don't want control
As it takes me down and down and down again

Is that the moon
Or just a light that lights this dead end street?
Is that you there
Or just another demon that I meet?

The higher you are
The farther you fall
The longer the walk
The farther you crawl
My body my temple
This temple it tilts
Step into the house that jack built

The higher you are
The farther you fall
The longer the walk
The farther you crawl
My body my temple
This temple it tilts
Yes, this is the house that jack built

Open doors as I walk inside
Swallow me so the pain subsides
And I shake as I take the sin
Let the show begin

The higher you are
The farther you fall
The longer the walk
The farther you crawl
My body my temple
This temple it tilts
Yes this is the house that jack built

The higher you are
The farther you fall
The longer the walk
The farther you crawl
My body my temple
This temple it tilts
Yes, I am, I am, I am..

Open my eyes
It swallows me
Is that you there
I twist away

Away
Away
Away
