lyrics

Oh this nice place has seen some better days, I swear
It falls apart, it all lies in disrepair
Sometimes I think that the world, it just ain't fair
You walk for miles, without ever getting there

I've built a house inside my head
With all the demons that I've met
Smashing walls and trashing halls
And setting fire to the beds
Given tools, I can repair my broken home
All alone
So by hammer, and by nail
I'll build my walls to last for good

Built this machine, though I know not what it does
Answers will show themselves when the time comes
I'm not afraid, it's just progress anyway
Don't need your therapy, and I don't care what you say

I've built a house inside my head
With all the demons that I've met
Smashing walls and trashing halls
And setting fire to the beds
Given tools, I can repair my broken home
All alone
So by hammer, and by nail
I'll build my walls to last for good
