lyrics

Who does this house
belong to
I see pictures hanging
but I don't see you
hopefully your only
passing through

This place must've cost
a hefty price
cause the sacraments
around your shrine look nice
but there's blood on the floor
from your latest sacrifice

Who does this house
belong to
I see pictures hanging
but I don't see you
hopefully you're only
passing through

Let me open
if you please
up a window to let
in a breeze
cause the air is stale
and stagnant with disease

Who does this house
belong to
I see pictures hanging
but I don't see you
hopefully you're only
passing through

It don't matter how much
time you took
in the kitchen where you
used to cook
open up that front door just a crack
and have yourself a look

Who does this house
belong to
I see pictures hanging
but I don't see you
hopefully you're only
passing through

Pride and Envy
Greed and Wrath
all of these that make the
stoic laugh
could dwell under one roof
and hide behind the same mask

I hear you calling out
for Justice and
Mercy to lend you
a helping hand
well Wisdom, she don't care
if you don't understand
