[Verse 1]
We are moving slow
Deep into the night, hereafter falls
I am keeping close, close to nothing
Let the mallet swing through the fire
I see your face staring back at me
You know I turn to you for self abusing
[Chorus]
All of our ears to the floorboards
My eyes are falling everywhere
I know who is in the backyard
But who's that living in our home?
[Verse 2]
We are moving slow
I am a pawn in every step you take
Illusion wraps me up, keeps me guessing
[Pre-Chorus]
You put my back to the wall
Somehow that wasn't enough
I'm the result of what you never were
[Chorus]
All of our ears to the floorboards
My eyes are falling everywhere
I know who is in the backyard
But who's that living in our home?
All of our ears to the floorboards
There's nothing left for anyone
I know who is in the backyard
But who's that living in our home?
[Bridge]
If I'm in pain then you, you must be too
Are we on our way back down?
Into delusion we will go to stare at a glimpse of hope
Make me more assured, to clean my wounds
My flickering thoughts; all wrong
Into delusion we will go to stare at a glimpse of hope
[Pre-Chorus]
You put my back to the wall
Somehow that wasn't enough
I'm the result of what you never were
[Chorus]
All of our ears to the floorboards
My eyes are falling everywhere
I know who is in the backyard
But who's that living in our
All of our ears to the floorboards
We peel them back forevermore
I know who is in the backyard
But who's that living in our home?
