lyrics

First there is the word, a promise from cradle to grave
To protect and to serve, and to honour the vow that you
made
And then there is the lie.
When you said they’d be safe here at night
You neglected to tell them the evil’s already inside, with
them.
There is a house that doesn’t allow the sunshine in.

First there was a scream, the loss of control at the start
The murder of the dream but you lived with the cold in
your heart
When accusations came did you run out of people to
blame?
Did you tell everyone that the building was wearing the
shame for your sins?
There is a house that don’t let liability in.

There is a house that poisons the tenants inside
I still have my doubts there’ll be anyone left there alive
They say that it’s supposed to be haunted by a turbulent
ghost
Some violent spirit who ran out of excuses to throw at the
wind
There is a house that doesn’t allow the sunshine in.
