[Intro][**deep bass, guitar delay**] A house with no heat Empty walls, no beat [ambient pad swells] -------------------------- Every box holds a piece Of a life missing peace [Verse 1][slam] Barely moved in, just three weeks gone No wardrobe, clothes lie all undone No hot water, nights are cold Boiler broke before I got hold Counted days without a flame Each shower stung, each night the same A house that never learned to care Just silence soaking through the air [Chorus][bluesy] And it piles up, never rests Each new day puts me to the test Didn’t sign for this kind of war But I stand, even when I’m sore [Verse 2][slam] Then the stove came with a twist Wrong parts placed, meals I missed I dreamed of foam and bath steam But the water came like a broken dream Boiling kettles just to fill The tub that waited, calm and still And then the tap ran dry at dawn The whole street’s water simply gone [Chorus][sung] And it piles up, never rests Each new day puts me to the test Didn’t sign for this kind of war But I stand, even when I’m sore [Verse 3][slam] No coffee, no clean glass Bank says no, broke on gas Paycheck's close, but not today I sip on silence anyway Brought my cat to ease the pain He walked my face, left a bloody stain Woke in shock, my eye all red Love hurts sometimes, the saying said [Bridge][gloomy][**guitar dry, pad soft fade**] Blue screen at work, nothing saved ( Blue screen of death) Files gone, nerves unbraved Cried alone, late at night When the dark swallowed all the light [Rhodes soft chords drift in] (......) (......) [Verse 4][slam] Just when I thought I’d seen it all A spider bite, a swollen call Right on the skin I never show Another joke from below The mirror stares, quiet and stern While childhood fears start to return And just outside, without a sound A giant hornet guards my ground [Final Chorus] And it piles up, never rests ( And it piles up, never rests ) Each new day puts me to the test ( Testing my nerves ) But I still breathe, still I rise ( for now ) Even when the sun don’t shine But this is fine.... Yeah, I'm fine... I guess.... [maniac crazy laughter in the distance] aah aha ah ahahah ah... [instruments fade away]
