Or just a light that lights this dead-end street? Is that you there? Or just another demon that I meet? The higher you are The farther you fall The longer the walk The farther you crawl My body, my temple This temple, it tilts Step into the house that Jack built The higher you are The farther you fall The longer the walk The farther you crawl My body, my temple This temple, it tilts Yes, this is the house that Jack built Open door Yes, I walk inside Swallow me so the pain subsides And I shake as I take the sin Let the show begin Let the show begin Let the show begin The higher you are The farther you fall The longer the walk The farther you crawl My body, my temple This temple, it tilts Yes, this is the house that Jack built The higher you are The farther you fall The longer the walk The farther you crawl My body, my temple This temple, it tilts Yes, I am, I am, I am Open my eyes It swallows me Is that you there?
