[Verse 1] There’s a house I wear beneath my skin, Creaking doors confess the night. Every room is carved with names That bruise again when I turn on the light. [Pre-Chorus 1] We dressed our laughter in silver, But the music fled the hall; Love once lined these rafters— Now it’s chalked against the wall. [Chorus] So I run through halls that know me, Yet each corner comes out new. There’s a shadow in my footsteps, Made of everything I’m scared to lose. If I break into the daylight, Will the daylight break me too? Tell me: is the outside any truer Than the rooms I’m running through? [Verse 2] Windows frame a borrowed sky, But the street’s a hollow stage; Every neon hue repeats Another shade of empty page. [Pre-Chorus 2] Sometimes the doors swing open— Sometimes the floorboards scream— I’m the echo and the exit Caught inside the same routine. [Chorus] So I run through halls that know me, Yet each corner comes out new. There’s a shadow in my footsteps, Made of everything I’m scared to lose. If I break into the daylight, Will the daylight break me too? Tell me: is the outside any truer Than the rooms I’m running through? [Bridge] Eu poderia pintar o silêncio, Aprender o ritmo do seu ar; Mas o silêncio me corta fundo, Prefiro dançar pra não chorar. A verdade invade como inverno, E o degelo parece morrer; Se a porta não abre, eu arrombo, Na batida eu volto a viver. [Final Chorus] Agora eu corro por corredores livres, Deixo a sombra dançar comigo; Se a luz me chama pelo nome, Eu respondo cantando, eu não me perco. Existe uma casa dentro de mim, Mas hoje as portas se abrem inteiras; Todos os cômodos respiram meu corpo, E a noite caminha à minha beira.
