The House That Remembers

Verse 1

Cold air crawls across the windowpane tonight

Something moves where nothing ought to be

My grandmother swore this house had eyes

I laughed it off then

Now I keep the hallway light on

Pre-Chorus

The clock stops at a quarter past three

Every single night the same

Footsteps climb a staircase made of air

I am not alone

Chorus

They never left this place

They never found their rest

Something lingers in the walls

Something breathing in my chest

They never crossed the river

They never said goodbye

The dead don't wander far from home

They just refuse to die

Verse 2

I found a photograph beneath the floor

A woman's face I recognize

She wears the dress my mother kept in dust

The mirror fogs when I say her name

I feel her standing close

Pre-Chorus

The radio hums a tune I almost know

Static shapes a voice I almost hear

Fingers trace a pattern on my spine

She is still here

Chorus

They never left this place

They never found their rest

Something lingers in the walls

Something breathing in my chest

They never crossed the river

They never said goodbye

The dead don't wander far from home

They just refuse to die

Bridge

Speak to me

Speak to me

Tell me what you're waiting for

Show me where it hurts

I will listen

I will listen

I am not afraid of you anymore

Guitar Solo

Chorus

They never left this place

They never found their rest

Something lingers in the walls

Something breathing in my chest

They never crossed the river

They never said goodbye

The dead don't wander far from home

They just refuse to die

Outro

Sleep now

Sleep now

I will keep the candle burning

Sleep now
