Lyrics
I’ve got an attic in my house
I go up there when I’m down
Holding myself
Ignore the sounds
I’ve got an addict in my house
How did you get there so far away
And are you coming back to earth before it’s too late
I won’t be the one to catch you so I’ve finally got to let you fade
Once upon a medieval time
Thrust and I parry with the knight
Taking the blows as I throw mine
Once a pawn of an evil eye
How did you get there so far away
And are you coming back to earth before it gets too late
I won’t be the one to catch you so I’ve finally got to let you fade
Roots in the garden
Holes in the fence
Leaks in the roof of a house I cannot fix
Shattered widows to my soul
These eyes seen things that shake the bones
No architect could call this house a home
I’ve got an attic in my house
Climb the stairs and I clean it out
Douse it in paint and gasoline
I’ll get the addict out of me
