The House That Hunger Built (Remastered)

[Intro, Low droning bass with clean guitar harmonics] [Verse 1] Built these walls with borrowed nails Patched the cracks with fairy tales Every room a different sin Every lock keeps something in Dust hangs heavy in the light Like it never sees the night Like the sun forgot this place Like it fears what it might face [Refrain, Sparse drums and harmonies] Stay... Stay... Don't look away... [Verse 2, Heavy bass-driven groove] Floorboards groan beneath my feet Like a pulse beneath concrete Every hallway bends and sways Lost inside familiar maze Pictures hanging on the wall Watch me stumble, watch me crawl Every eye a loaded gun Waiting for what I've become [Chorus, Massive sludgy guitars] This is the house that hunger built Brick by brick from fear and guilt Every window painted black So nothing ever looks back This is the house that hunger built Stacking shame until it spills Every ghost I tried to hide Still sleeps somewhere inside [Instrumental Break, Grinding riff with harmonized vocal textures] [Verse 3, Quiet acoustic section] There's a chair beside the door Nobody sits there anymore Still I leave it where it stands Like a relic in the sand Some habits outlive their cause Some wounds never really close Some names echo through the years Long after they disappear [Bridge, Layered harmonies over slow drums] Every nail... Every scar... Shows us who we are... Every chain... Every stain... Comes around again... [Guitar Solo, Slow emotional grunge guitar solo with vocal-like bends, sustained notes and haunting feedback] [Final Movement, Heaviest section] And the ceiling starts to crack Under everything it lacks And the shadows start to climb Up the walls I've called mine This is the house that hunger built Built from everything I killed And I know I'll never leave The place that still believes in me [Outro, Fading clean guitar and distant harmonies] The house still stands... The house still stands... Waiting...
