lyrics

THE HOUSE was an empty box
Overgrown with heavy locks
Segmented from modern life
Divorced from human strife

Then one day a lonely soul
Made that house a home
Where she’d stay to rest
Tiny little nest

She was all by herself
Trying to survive
But she passed away
Hidden night and day

The landlord finally did
Lease the rooms for rent
But behind a door
Body starts to rot

This house is a graveyard plot
Locked doors will conceal the stench
But when the heat switches on
Tendrils of filth lay beyond

It is a shame to be so segmented
Who is to blame but our landscapes?
There is a flame that scorched our collective
It has a name; that’s cagèd blight

We all live in a graveyard
Foundations are built on bones
Be not afraid of coffins
Lingering on our conscience

Our cities are hollow blights
Our communion fades to night
These houses are lonely blocks
Segmenting our greater flock
