In the House of Dust Lyrics
You laid all your feelings down
Like worn and guilty knives
But I cleared out that filthy mess
That lived between our words
And painted us apart
But we’re the same for what we’ve done
But I was a simple process
Suddenly cold and honest
A system of dissipating truths
And you are a swerving labyrinth
Always awake but absent
A ceiling of smokeless flame
Dawn took us for sightless fools
As if it needed to
But it’s really all the same
And I thought change
Was just a name
We were just soldiers serving time
And tracing out our entire lives
But I was afraid of progress
As though it would cave in on us
A feeble and desecrated house
And we took the past for granted
As though we could understand it
But we’d never been so lost
But I was a simple process
Suddenly cold and honest
A system of dissipating truths
(We were just soldiers serving time)
(And tracing out our entire lives)
Like worn and guilty knives
That lived between our words
And painted us apart
Suddenly cold and honest
A system of dissipating truths
Always awake but absent
A ceiling of smokeless flame
As if it needed to
But it’s really all the same
Was just a name
And tracing out our entire lives
As though it would cave in on us
A feeble and desecrated house
As though we could understand it
But we’d never been so lost
Suddenly cold and honest
A system of dissipating truths
(And tracing out our entire lives)
