[Intro] Brush in my hand, but my fingers won’t steady House keeps turning when the hallway gets heavy One more mark on the wall where I bled One more face that won’t leave my head [Verse 1] Rot in the walls and the ceiling is breathing Every room knows the name I’ve been keeping I chased a masterpiece, lost what I knew Now the canvas keeps asking for pieces of you I moved too fast, let the whole world sever What I swore I would keep forever Now every color turns sick when it dries And the portrait keeps wearing your eyes [Pre-Chorus] So I hold on, grip the brush slow Nails in my palm where the guilt won’t go Built me a home out of all I regret Now every door leads back to debt [Chorus] One more try, let me break this curse I killed the love, but I buried it first Now the walls bend back when I step in the room And the paint runs red like it knows my doom One more try, let the whole thing burn I built this house just to watch it turn Got nothing left but a name I can’t lose So here’s the last ugly truth [Verse 2] A piano sleeps where the dust falls deeper Keys still waiting for the hands of the keeper Dog doesn’t bark and the child won’t call Just cracked little drawings hung up in the hall There’s a glow in the back of the manor, still waiting A room full of faces, all twisting and hating I finish each portrait, then hate what I made So I start again with a sharper blade [Pre-Chorus] So I hold on, grip the brush slow Nails in my palm where the guilt won’t go Built me a home out of all I regret Now every door leads back to debt [Chorus] One more try, let me break this curse I killed the love, but I buried it first Now the walls bend back when I step in the room And the paint runs red like it knows my doom One more try, let the whole thing burn I built this house just to watch it turn Got nothing left but a name I can’t lose So here’s the last ugly truth [Bridge] This one goes out to the ones who remain To the daughter who carries the brush and the stain She walks through the wreckage, remembers the screams Then finds her own face in the ruins of dreams Last night I saw us in a carriage of rain Riding through streets that remembered my shame No kiss survived, no promise stayed Just art from a wound that never obeyed [Breakdown] Skin for the surface Blood for the hue Bone underneath it Hair dragging through Finger for mercy Eye made to see All that I worshipped Rotting in me [Final Chorus] One more try, let me break this curse I killed the love, but I buried it first Now the walls bend back when I step in the room And the paint runs red like it knows my doom One more try, let the whole thing burn I built this house just to watch it turn Got nothing left but a name I can’t lose So here’s the last ugly truth [Outro] This one goes out to the ones who remain To the child with the brush and the blood in her name She steps to the canvas, the old rooms bloom And the house starts breathing inside her room
