[Intro] [Short instrumental] [Verse 1] The road dissolved beneath the rain The horses refused to pull again Three yellow windows on the hill Three watching mouths, completely still He poured the wine, thick, dark, and slow And smiled when every clock said no I felt the walls begin to breathe Against my back, beneath my knees Something warm was moving underneath [Chorus] The house is hungry It knows your name The walls remember Every pulse that came Come in from the weather Come in from the rain The house is hungry And it wants to taste your name [Verse 2] A woman moaning down the hall No portraits watching from the walls The master stood behind my chair I never heard him enter there His breath was colder than the stone His mouth was very close to bone He said the night was very old That men grow careless in the cold I watched the candle bend and die And watched him drag his tongue across his teeth [Instrumental] [Interlocking guitar melodies over hypnotic bass] [Bridge] The road is gone The door stands wide No lock upon it From the inside I hear the mountain I hear the rain I hear the master Calling my name His voice is in my mouth His cold is in my veins [Final Chorus] The house is hungry The house knows my name The walls remember Every pulse that came Come in from the weather Come in from the rain The walls are painted crimson And I will wear the same The house is hungry And it wants to taste my name [Outro] The house is hungry And I have come to stay Open, wet, and willing Underneath the rain [End]
