House With No Door

Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah... Some nights the walls get closer And the quiet gets loud [Verse 1] I keep a green haze hanging over the kitchen light Trying to blur every face that I lost from sight Mama's old voicemail still saved in my phone I don't play it anymore, but I can't delete home My buddy's work boots are by the back door still Dust on the laces and a memory to kill I tell everybody I'm handling it fine Then I pour another glass and disappear inside [Pre-Chorus] I know this ain't healing, I know what it costs But numb feels better than counting the lost [Chorus] I smoke to forget the family and friends I buried Drink till the noise in my head gets carried Far from this room, far from these thoughts Far from the names and the things I couldn't stop But when the morning comes, I'm right where I've been Cold, dark, empty, loud within Stuck in my mind like a house with no door And I don't wanna be here anymore [Verse 2] There's a crack in the ceiling I watch for an hour Every thought turns heavy, every memory sour I hear them laughing in the passenger seat Then the silence hits harder when I pull to the street I pass that old gas station, two cups by the sign One for me, one for you, like the old summertime I still reach for my phone when something goes wrong Then remember your number ain't ringing along [Pre-Chorus] I keep the bottle close like a friend in the dark It can't ask me questions, it just dulls the sharp [Chorus] I smoke to forget the family and friends I buried Drink till the noise in my head gets carried Far from this room, far from these thoughts Far from the names and the things I couldn't stop But when the morning comes, I'm right where I've been Cold, dark, empty, loud within Stuck in my mind like a house with no door And I don't wanna be here anymore [Bridge] If I could trade this heart for a quieter one I'd leave every bottle and put down the blunt But grief knows my address, it follows me home Sits at the table when I'm eating alone I ain't asking heaven to give back the past Just one clean breath that can finally last One night where the room doesn't swallow the sound One morning I wake up and don't feel underground [Final Chorus] I smoke to forget the family and friends I buried Drink till the noise in my head gets carried But every escape leaves me back at the start With a little more winter inside of my heart And when the morning comes, I'm right where I've been Cold, dark, empty, loud within Stuck in my mind like a house with no door I don't wanna be here like this anymore [Outro] The room is still cold The room is still loud But I can hear one breath Underneath it now One breath... Then another
