this house is alive Lyrics

I'm getting older

No one thinks I know enough

Put through the ringer

Now they're calling me too tough

I saw the pictures in the glass that said "don't touch"

Shattered pieces fall at my feet

Guess it was too much

My family in ruins

I didn't know why

I can still hear him

When they claim that they don't lie

So don't choose me now

When you've never been around

Burn it down

Cause nothing's changed

This house is alive

We all are to blame

More days pass and

I feel I know you less

Related by blood

But all I know is your mess

So don't choose me now

When you've never been around

Burn it down

Cause nothing's changed

This house is alive

And you are to blame

Broken households

Stumble and fall

You got a rise out of making me feel small

You never left and there were voices in the walls

How can you be a parent when you didn't want me at all
