lyrics

There's something about this house that keeps me locked inside my mind where you could never hope to find me.
Cut out my eyes and gag me and bind me.

There's something about this town that holds me tighter than a bind between a best friend or a family.
It kicks my stomach and tries to choke me.

There's something about the state of New York that makes me feel like I have something to live for.
I have enough, but I guess I always want more.

Someday I'll be taller than the tree in my backyard. Someday I'll be dead and have a flaming sword to stand guard.
Bury me without a tie or a credit card.

There's something about this house that holds me tighter than a bind between a best friend or a family.
There's nothing else I'd rather have to slowly kill me.
