This House (Has a Secret) Lyrics

Do you think I can peel the paint from my knees

Or scratch off the bruises from sitting too long?

At least choose a shelf that my brother can see

Will anyone speak a word when I'm finally gone?

They're driving the years I've been here away in a little black wagon

And I left a blue stick figure on the floor

This house has a secret and it's rotting;

Will they know it's me and will they care at all?

Do you think I can peel the paint from my knees

Or scratch off the bruises from sitting too long?

At least choose a shelf that my brother can see

Will anyone speak a word when I'm finally gone?

They forgot the kitchen table and it's all been rearranged–

The one I slept under that one night, thinking things had finally changed

But I'm not really safe

Do you think I can peel the paint from my knees

Or scratch off the bruises from sitting too long?

At least choose a shelf that my brother can see

Will anyone speak a word when I'm finally gone?

When are they gonna realize

That the kids might not come home at all

I wanna go home

Home

Do you think I can peel the paint from my knees

Or scratch off the bruises from sitting too long?

At least choose a shelf that my brother can see

Will anyone speak a word when I'm finally gone?
