here's the house that held the good life
here's the house that held the nightmare that went on
the damage done by strangers, as foretold
I curse you, I hate you, we despise your arrival
here's the place that held all things true
a shelter from the norm in this grey valley of time
the damage done to strangers, as expected
the tide comes in, savage, like waves of concrete
all those caged birds here to rule us, desperate
we knew they were coming
this is the nothing they all bring, the emptiness
we knew it was coming
ugly cities and dead small towns, wastelands
we knew they were coming
like flies, like bees, like fire surrounding everything 
beautiful
reach out to the night sky, but the moon hates you
and I hate you so much, retaliation
we knew they were coming
a different salt in their blood, and we knew, we just 
knew
we knew they were coming
here's the house that held the nightmare that went on
