Something's Alive in This House

Something's alive in this house This house so neglected and dead Something may be waiting round the corner A presence that fills me with dread I'm looking into all the shadows Afraid of what I might see Something's alive in this house But for a long time it hasn't been me [INSTRUMENTAL] Something's alive in this house For a long time it hasn't been me [CHORUS] In this place there is no light In this space it’s always night The cold embrace of fate and fright Holds me safe in its arms <INSTRUMENTAL FILL> [VERSE] Something’s alive in this house I can tell by the way the boards creak Something that’s made the night darker Is teaching the wind how to speak I feel the strange heat of the living I can measure each heart beat’s degree Something’s alive in this house For a long time it hasn’t been me [CHORUS] In this place there is no light In this space it’s always night The cold embrace of fate and fright Holds me safe in its arms I can measure each heartbeat’s degree Something’s alive in this house For a long time it hasn’t been me [INSTRUMENTAL] [CHORUS] In this place there is no light In this space it’s always night The cold embrace of fate and fright Holds me safe in its arms [VERSE] Something's alive in this house I hope it will leave peacefully Something's alive in this house For a long time it hasn't been me [OUTRO] Something's alive in this house For a long time it hasn't been me [ INSTRUMENTAL OUTRO]
