The walls are closing in
 Your mind is wearing thin
 The dark has cast you out
 The sun can't see you now

 The walls are closing in
 Your blood is running empty (you're running empty)
 The dark has cast you out
 The sun can see you now
 Promised you'd be devout
 Your son won't see you now
 Cut it out, cut it loose, try to get your head out the noose
 You think you only got this far on your own
 Try to breathe, air is thin, put the needle back in your skin
 You'll get a taste for all the torture you've done
 Desert fires and empires fall
 The rooms are entombed by the curtains you've drawn
 To hide, to hide the silent side
 The smiles you wear to hide what you leave behind
 ♪
 In the rooms of the house
 Thick doors to block the shouts
 Paint is thick, windows black
 Bruised and peeling from attack
 Everyone knows (everyone knows!), you're doing it again
 Your money's gone (your money's gone!), now you live in your sin!
 Bleeding out, bleeding through
 Put a little salt in the wound
 Your circumstances are changing for good
 Suffer now, suffer you, something we will no longer do
 Smile on your throat from ear to ear
 Desert fires and empires fall
 The rooms are entombed by the curtains you've drawn
 To hide, to hide the silent side
 The smiles you wear to hide what you leave behind
 The man slithers upstairs
 Stomps the ground as he wakes
 His gaze is red as he glares
 Son holds his mother as she shakes (mother as she shakes!)
 The room shrinks, the cold rises
 So does the son when the moment arises
 Son picks up all that he's got
 Presents to the man and the men gets (that's a bit graphic)
 Oh!
