Steer clear of the house that his father built

I heard that's it's nothing but broken wood

Eventually he tore the whole thing down

He sleeps with a bottle of stolen pills

Escape to a place where he'd meet with her

And shovels bury things within his soul

But he knew she wouldn't save him

She was the thief

She was the time

That wore away

His paradise

He just wants to feel

Like he did that night

But it's not the same

Decay is blind

Steer clear of the house up upon the hill

Things never appear as they probably should

Exhale and let the smoke cover the town

Betrayed by the tales that his mother told

No truth in the things that were in those books

If he jumps into the water he might drown

But it makes him feel alive

She was the thief

She was the time

That wore away

His paradise

He just wants to feel

Like he did that night

But it's not the same

Decay is blind

He holds her for a moment and then she's gone

From him

She was the thief

She was the time

He gave to her

His paradise

He just wants to feel

Like he did that night

But it's not the same

Decay is blind
