House of Night

लिरिक्स

[Verse 1] The hallway clock skips half past two A voice behind my teeth says, “You” It names the cracks along the wall Then counts the seconds till they fall [Pre-Chorus] I keep my hands beneath the sink And watch the dark refuse to blink [Chorus] I live with voices in my head They argue over every breath They tell me I won’t see the dawn I answer, “I am still holding on” Just make it through this house of night One door, one breath, one borrowed light [Verse 2] The kitchen chair is turned around Though I left it facing toward the ground A low voice hums my mother’s tune Then laughs and leaves the room too soon [Pre-Chorus] I write my name across my palm A small, plain fact to keep me calm [Chorus] I live with voices in my head They argue over every breath They tell me I won’t see the dawn I answer, “I am still holding on” Just make it through this house of night One door, one breath, one borrowed light [Bridge] At the window, gray begins to show The voices thin, but never go I don’t have to make them cease I only have to reach the street [Final Chorus] I live with voices in my head They talk, but they don’t choose my steps They say the morning won’t arrive I say, “I’m here. I’m still alive.” I make it through this house of night And meet the day with open eyes [Outro] The clock moves on The room stays still I’m breathing now And always will
