The house Jack built

        Open doors 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

        On my way to where I graze

        It swallows me

        As it takes me in his home

        I twist away

        As I kill this world 

        

        Open doors 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 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 deadend street?

        Is that you there

        Or just another demon that I meet?

        

        The higher you walk 

        The farther you fall

        The longer the walk

        The farther you crawl

        My body, my temple

        This temple it tells

        Step into the house that Jack built

        

        The higher you walk 

        The farther you fall

        The longer the walk

        The farther you crawl

        My body, my temple

        This temple it tells

        Yes this is the house that Jack built

        

        Open doors as I walk inside

        Swallow me so the pain subsides

        And I shake as I take this in

        Let the show begin

        

        The higher you walk 

        The farther you fall

        The longer the walk

        The farther you crawl

        My body, my temple

        This temple it tells

        Yes this is the house that Jack built

        

        The higher you walk 

        The farther you fall

        The longer the walk

        The farther you crawl

        My body, my temple

        This temple it tells

        Yes I am I am I am

        

        Open my eyes

        It swallows me

        Is that you there

        I twist away

        Away

        Away

        Away
