House Of Regret

Intro: (x4) verse 1 I have a friend and when he sings, I cry All the memories inside try to rebirth and give me life But I can't talk about old times tonight 'Cause round here the lights stay off all the time It's seven o'clock I already feel late All the pain from my stress, I'm beating my chest About decisions I've had to make Well I breathe in like And I breathe out light Run my hands through my hair, see my breath in the air Oh, I'm so tired of running verse 2 When all your bad boys have gone sour And you're shivering cold, alone in his shower Oh baby that soap won't make you clean Oh, screaming at Jesus just to let you bleed It's seven-thirty I can smell the candles burning I could go to sleep now I just wait 'till morning When the melodies come and sing me stories Oh, birds that can talk No, they're never boring verse 3 Well, there's nothing like hearing that girl cry on the receiver And your stomach hurts so bad 'cause you think you need her So you down that cough syrup, you love feeling so screwed up And you crawl up those steps and read yourself to sleep Yeah, you crawl up those steps and sing yourself to peace It's eight o'clock She didn't eat today Yeah, hurting herself has never felt this great Well, see that green hill, friend? That's where I'm gonna be Watching glory coming in in the form of morning verse 4 I was found on that dark hillside With a certain painting by my side Screaming "knock down the house of regret" Knock it down, pave it over, 'Till you feel younger and younger Knock it down, pave it over, 'Till you feel like a kid again Knock it down, pave it over Till your heart's warmer and warmer Knock it down, pave it over Till you wake up born again outro x4 end on
