The House


The house is dead life,
I feel it breathing.

They say when you die,
You inherit creeping things
And I got
Gnats flyin all over my ****  house,
Bitin my **** skin when I sleep!
Im done with this dead house,
And it will never become a home.

I work 10 to 12 hours bendin my fingers to the bone,
Sometimes I wanna tell everybody to let me the **** alone
But i can't do that,
I feel too alone when im afraid,
And on the real i dont want this feelin to escalate

Cause I feel anything is possible
When she can make it happen but---

"You keep saying those words like,
You hate me!" -LSD

And I know you tired of my silly *** actions babe!

I know I'm in trouble but dont remind me,
I will repent,
And the hypocrite inside me will be gone away,
But how long will you stay?
I stay afraid of my own shadow in bed,
And sometimes,
It feels like,
Fear lies in the darkness of my dreams,
And I toss and turn and feel the burn of your laughter when I'm defeated.

Welcome to the real world,
Love,
This House is not a home and will never be.

So you can play the wife or the enemy,
My deepest thoughts are not a friend of me,
But it keeps coming out that,
My lover is no longer a friend of me,
But what should I believe?

Do I owe you my life?
Or do I owe life my debt?

You can say,
"Eric, I'm done..."
And I'll say,
"Nah you ain't done yet."

We got a lot to do,
A lot to move on with,
So I can't give you up to Anybody,
But even Anybody can become
A person if you really believe
You done with...

Me.

****.... I was supposed to be talking 'bout how the back of my house is leaning,
And the door keeps scratching the floor when I come in.
But the feelings of
Worthlessness keep rushing in
And I can't move when I
See you...
Yet, you're always falling for my traps and tricks,
You're the only woman I never seem to have a problem with-
Until now,
But only cause I did it to myself,

Eric Williams is fine,
Dont really need nobody else, right?
Wrong,
The House,
No,
THIS HOUSE
Just became a song,
And I await the day for all of my dead demons to prove me wrong.
Sing the song of a long lifestyle
Thats been sung all wrong,

Say to me that you'll love me,
And then be it all wrong.
This house is not a home,
Yeah, it's always been wrong.

ABC Spirits just **** my spirits,
My heart is calling,
but I can't hear it.
My demon chasing me the whole time,
But I don't fear it.

The House.
