We are all carpeted
We are all painted

I am transparent (I am transparent)

We are the lawn
And we will exist when this house is gone
We're not scared, though we should be scared

(We can be everywhere just like the carpet in this house)
We're moved in
And peeling
The layers
Of skin we drag around
Burning
The kindling
The embers
They make a simple sound
The stone walls
Are sweating
And our friends
Are dancing in the dark
The friction
Brings a reaction
And this house
Was waiting for the spark
