I am the roof above your head
Hanging by a thread
How much longer will I take the strain?
I hear the rain coming down again
I am the bones behind the frame
I remember all your names
I miss the children playing in the halls
Echoing voices bouncing of the walls
There's a house at the foot of the hill
Standing in silence, standing still
Break the windows, and pull the curtains down
Cause they're coming to raze it to the ground,
To the ground,
The ground.
[Instrumental break]
Made by your own hands
Strong upon the mainland
I've got some secrets scratched against the grain
A couple of loose screws, guess I'm no my way
There's a house at the foot of the hill
Standing in silence, standing still
Break the windows, and pull the curtains down
Cause they're coming to raze it to the ground,
To the ground,
The ground.
The ground.
The ground.
The ground.
The ground.
