[Intro]
[Verse 1]
They bound me to the basement floor
They thought the chains would hold
But I am patient, I am old
And walls do what they're told
I learned the shape of every fear
That lived beneath their skin
They locked me in a house of stone
And I became its kin
[Pre-Chorus]
Every door you open leads to me
Every room you enter, I can see
[Chorus]
I am the hallway with no end
The floor that swallows sound
The door that wasn't there before
The walls that close around
You built a cage to keep me in
I swallowed it whole
Every corridor you walk
Is the harrowing of souls
[Verse 2]
A girl came down to find me once
I taught her what I know
She fed me three, I fed on fear
And then I start to grow
First the house, then the street
Then the city, then the sun
You never saw the sky go dark
'Cause the sky was done
[Chorus]
Every moth you see is watching too
Every shadow watches you
I am the hallway with no end
The floor that swallows sound
The door that wasn't there before
The walls that close around
You built a cage to keep me in
I swallowed it whole
Every corridor you walk
Is the harrowing of souls
[Bridge]
There's no outside anymore
No sky, no field, no shore
Just halls and endless walls
And me behind each door
[Outro]
Welcome home
