House Inside (future Is Older Than The Past) Lyrics - What Is This Heart? - How To Dress Well

No mercy baby always crying 

No open the sea out on the water 

I see the world through so much poison 

Didn't bury his own father 

Just a few years ago she told you 

"We think it's new but the future is older" 

I can't understand how the world could hold up 

All this pain and all this weight 

I'm not asking you to just wait for tomorrow 

Deep in your chest stay sequestered and somber 

Now instead I guess I'll smash my fists on the walls of 

This emptiness, baby, this house inside 

If you could hope so much, change everything! 

But you know the future holds more deadly, deadly things! 

And I can't help you out unless you tell me, tell me things! 

And who could have ever known you were running on empty, empty babe?! 

When your face is opened up, there's so many, many things! 

These stories of the world before any, anything 

Had crawled out on this globe, these deadly, deadly things! 

Yet you came back for me, such a pretty, pretty thing... 

Yet you came back for me 

Such a pretty, pretty thing 

The future is older than the past 

Every new day carries the weight of the last 

The future is older than the past 

Every new day carries the weight of the last 

Ya if I could I'd hold your face in my hand and stop your sighing 

"Oh I know this earth, this earth is just so giant 

Got you thinking that you're nothing" 

But mama your pain and your silence 

Fills my future with such hopeless 

Hopeless fear that the world won't be my home that 

My heart can't bear this journey through the night!
