Cursive - This House Alive lyrics
[Cursive - This House Alive lyrics]
Cassius, newly released from the hospital
Following a harrowing automobile accident
Inherit's the home of his
Unknown biological parents
In accordance with their last will
And testament entering the
House for the first time, he hears whispers
But finds no one
Pollock and Young Cassius whisper
There are voices in the attic
Wispy whispers past the cabinets
Filled with tawny photographs
I am stolid, I am steadfast
Where there's panic, lingers relapse
Oh, no those breakdown days are done
This house alive
I can hear the floorboards breathe
Creak, creak
Various Angels and Devils enter
Fluttering about the parlor
Are these angels come to take me?
If so, I'll wave my white flag willingly
I have shed my snake skinned past
Clustered flies hinder the windows
For every angel there's a devil
Oh, no make these voices go away
I was a God-fearing boy
Sure, I stumbled more than once
But so did his begotten son
An orphan, thrown out to the wolves
Not prodigal, far worse
I was hustled, I was scorned made a criminal
But, I stand here reformed
There are voices in the dead of night
A child screaming, "I am Gemini!"
Oh, what are you, and why?
Are you specter? Are you spirit?
Am I lucid, am I losing it?
Oh, no, this macabre facade
These walls, paper thin
Following a harrowing automobile accident
Inherit's the home of his
Unknown biological parents
In accordance with their last will
And testament entering the
House for the first time, he hears whispers
But finds no one
Pollock and Young Cassius whisper
There are voices in the attic
Wispy whispers past the cabinets
Filled with tawny photographs
I am stolid, I am steadfast
Where there's panic, lingers relapse
Oh, no those breakdown days are done
This house alive
I can hear the floorboards breathe
Creak, creak
Various Angels and Devils enter
Fluttering about the parlor
Are these angels come to take me?
If so, I'll wave my white flag willingly
I have shed my snake skinned past
Clustered flies hinder the windows
For every angel there's a devil
Oh, no make these voices go away
I was a God-fearing boy
Sure, I stumbled more than once
But so did his begotten son
An orphan, thrown out to the wolves
Not prodigal, far worse
I was hustled, I was scorned made a criminal
But, I stand here reformed
There are voices in the dead of night
A child screaming, "I am Gemini!"
Oh, what are you, and why?
Are you specter? Are you spirit?
Am I lucid, am I losing it?
Oh, no, this macabre facade
These walls, paper thin
