[Verse 1] I built a house behind my eyes With every door I wouldn’t try The hall remembers what I said Each floorboard keeps a different debt I pass the room where blame sits still A cup gone cold upon the sill I hear you ask me, “Who are you?” I count the cracks instead of truth [Pre-Chorus] The locks are made of things I hide The key is hanging on my side [Chorus] There’s a house inside my head Where the old words make their beds Regret in the rafters, guilt in the walls Shame keeps calling from the halls But I can open one more door And be the one I was before I don’t have to live in there I can leave the rooms of fear [Verse 2] I find my younger self upstairs Still holding tight to someone’s stare I sit beside him on the floor No verdict waiting at the door We name the hurt, we let it be Not every wound defines the key The windows stick; I push them wide And let the morning reach inside [Chorus] There’s a house inside my head Where the old words make their beds Regret in the rafters, guilt in the walls Shame keeps calling from the halls But I can open one more door And be the one I was before I don’t have to live in there I can leave the rooms of fear [Outro] I leave the key beside the stair The house is there; I’m not its heir
