"Impossible House" lyrics

"Impossible House"

See the lines in the field
As they curve away from you
As the rows go flashing by
They say the signs will reveal it
But they hardly ever do
And I know that can't be right

See, I was steadily moving
But now I'm steady standing still
So clearly set up to fail
I have to wonder what you're after

I see the lake in the evening
As it's dripping off your skin
And I try to hold it tight
I try to shake off that feeling
But it just keeps slipping in
Like the day into the night

I been seeing you suffering
And I see you suffering still
You have to take it apart
You have to make this matter

You have made an impossible house
You have made an impossible house
You have made an impossible house
You have made an impossible house

I took a look at the cards
And I laid them out for you
Just a captain doomed to drown
I went and pulled the alarm
And it played around the room
You were laughing at the sound
Went to your palace and hid
As the thieves approached the throne
Like that McCallister kid
You have been left at home alone

You have made an impossible house
You have made an impossible house
You have made an impossible house
You have made an impossible house

I seen your black limousine
Rolling slowly through the alley
All long and shiny and mean
With a license plate that just says "NASTY"

You have made an impossible house
You have made an impossible house
You have made an impossible house
You have made an impossible house
