Lyrics
Shadows in the playroom
Scare me half to death
Ice cold in the bedroom
Can hardly catch my breath
Daddy's in the kitchen
Sharpening a knife
Heard him say to himself
He's sick of his life
This house is falling down
And I don't wanna be around
When it hits the ground
Mama's in the garden
Holding a dead rose
Cursing her judgement
Now that she knows
He's mad as the concept
As happy ever after
An acolyte of sadness
A stranger to laughter
This house is falling down
And I don't wanna be around
When it hits the ground
I am on my knees
Imploring my god
To cut me some slack
To make it all stop
This house is falling down
And I don't wanna be around
When it hits the ground...
