lyrics

Regret was par the course
The venom whispered hoarse
No toxin ever felt the same
No chance that I'll repair my name

I’ve painted black the walls
The bargain made a cause
I’ve cleansed my house of aimless ghosts
Cut out the ones I needed most

I know this house just ain’t a home
I know that there is something wrong
I know that this is necessary baby
This is medicine
But I just don't want to take it anymore

I’ve painted black the walls
The bargain made a cause
I’ve cleansed my house of aimless ghosts
Expelled the ones I needed most

I know this house just ain’t a home
I know that there is something wrong
I thought that this was temporary baby
This was medicine
But I just don't wanna take it anymore

I think that this is getting scary baby
This is medicine
And I just don’t wanna take it anymore

I knew there's something wrong
I let it fester mold for oh so long
I covered up the holes
I kept the windows closed so no one knows

There's a fire baby inside of me
There's a fire so big it could burn everything
There's a fire baby inside of me
But inside these walls it’s just apathy

There's a fire baby inside of me
But inside these walls I'm a forfeited fiend
There's a fire so big it could burn the sky
But inside these walls a surrendering sigh

about

The Ugly Facade

We live our lives in boxes, with little glowing screens. We fill our blood with toxins, so we can deal with things. And sometimes, more than often, the bitter masks the taste. The fruitless failed reflection: what if it's all a waste?
