House with No Door
[Verse 1]
There's a house with no door, I'm living there
At nights it gets cold and the days are hard to bear inside
There's a house with no roof, so the rain creeps in
Falling through my head as I try to think out time

[Chorus 1]
I don't know you, you say you know me
That may be so, there's so much that I am unsure of
You call my name, but it sounds unreal, I forget how I feel
My body's rejecting the cure

[Verse 2]
There's a house with no bell but then nobody calls
I sometimes find it hard to tell if any are alive at all outside
There's a house with no sound, yes, it's quiet there
There's not much point in words if there's no one to share in time

[Chorus 2]
I've learned my lines, I know them so well
I am ready to tell whoever will finally come in
Of the line in my mind that's cold in the night
It doesn't seem right when there's that little dark figure running

[Refrain]
Won't somebody help me?
[Instrumental Break 2:43 - 3:55]

[Verse 3]
There's a house with no door and there's no living there
One day it became a wall, well, I didn't really care at the time
There's a house with no light, all the windows are sealed
Overtaxed and strained, now nothing is revealed but time

[Chorus 1]
I don't know you, you say you know me
That may be so, there's so much that I am unsure of
You call my name, but it sounds unreal, I forget how I feel
My body's rejecting the cure

[Refrain]
Won't somebody help me?
