lyrics

I swear I keep seeing
A ghost in the corner
And I've waited it out
But the tension goes on
Quietly listen
And hear the house breathe
And longer grows the silence
Longer grows the silence between

If I carry this out
The guilt would rest in my hands
And the way that you say
There's no cure for this disease
You're alright
You're on fire

This could've been sacred
But it was a dream
This house wasn't built
To be torn at the seams
Understand that I lie
And my words are a vapor
But you're standing in the doorway
Standing in the doorway between

If I carry this out
The guilt would rest in my hands
And the way that you say
There's no cure for this disease
You're alright
You're on fire

Say, say I'm not here
But only if you notice
I've been saying all the right things
Saying all the right things now
Have I put myself together
Put myself together enough
