[00:00.00] Cursive - This House Alive
[00:00.22]
[00:01.24]
[00:02.74]
[00:58.43] There are voices in the attic
[01:04.46] Wispy whispers past the cabinets
[01:11.27] Filled with tawny photographs
[01:15.41] I am stolid, I am steadfast
[01:21.67] Where there's panic, lingers relapse
[01:27.21] Oh, no; those breakdown days are done
[01:34.54] This house alive
[01:39.68] I can hear the floorboards breathe
[01:43.88] Creak, creak
[01:47.38]
[01:58.46] Are these angels come to take me?
[02:03.76] If so, I'll wave my white flag willingly
[02:10.93] I have shed my snake-skinned past
[02:15.66] Clustered flies hinder the windows
[02:21.45] For every angel there's a devil
[02:27.04] Oh no, make these voices go away
[02:32.64]
[02:34.61] I was a God-fearing boy
[02:39.13] Sure, I stumbled more than once
[02:44.14] But so did his begotten son
[02:46.93]
[02:49.31] An orphan, thrown out to the wolves
[02:54.63] Not prodigal, far worse
[02:58.42]
[02:59.09] I was hustled, I was scorned
[03:02.88] Made a criminal...
[03:05.71] But I stand here reformed
[03:10.59]
[03:11.44] There are voices in the dead of night
[03:16.54] A child screaming, "I am Gemini!"
[03:24.79] Oh, what are you, and why?
[03:28.68] Are you specter? Are you spirit?
[03:34.00] Am I lucid, am I losing it?
[03:40.20] Oh no, this macabre facade
[03:44.13] These walls, paper thin
[03:50.22]
[03:51.75]
