House Of Hallways Lyrics - Lucky Street - Go Radio

And as it gets dark in this house of hallways 

And no corridor leads to the stairs 

With still wet black paint on all the windows 

We got no clocks 'cause time don't care here 

So tell me your name, young, noble stranger 

And tell me just what we're doing here 

Have you painted walls with all the answers 

Have you hidden doors with all our fears? 

What he said is the soul's rock hard 

But the heart's trapped underneath 

And the weight of it all gets enough 

Just to crush the best out of you and me 

But I swear that there's someone 

Who cares here enough to set us free 

And if the world don't turn just enough to bring her honest 

Then I guess we're better off forgotten 

The walls stay too thin in this house of hallways 

They let through the echoes and the stares 

And they'll bleed bright red with scribbled riddles 

Scratched out of their panels by angered air 

'Cause God knows I've made all my own choices 

And if I drown alone it's 'cause I choose 

To spend my time drinking in the stairwells 

When we've both got way too much to prove 

'Cause the soul's rock hard 

But the heart's trapped underneath 

And the weight of it all gets enough 

Just to crush the best out of you and me 

But I swear that there's someone 

Who cares here enough to set us free 

And if the world don't turn just enough to bring her honest 

Then I guess we're better off forgotten
