LYRICS
Open door
So I walk inside
Close my eyes
Find my place to hide
And I shake as I take it in
Let the show begin
Open my eyes
Just to have them close again
Well on my way
But on my way to where I’ve been
It swallows me
As it takes me in its fog
I twist away
As I give this world the nod
Open door
So I walk inside
Close my eyes
Find my place to hide
And I shake as I take it in
Let the show begin
Open my eyes
Just to have them closed once again
Don’t want control
As it takes me down
And down and down again
Is that the moon?
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?
I twist away
Away
Away
Away
