lyrics

She's hearing voices that are not her own
When she gets lonely she calls me on the phone
Brother they're too strong, brother they're too loud
When I try to break them, they start pushing me around

We talk it over, she cries out loud
I know where she fell and why she didn't shout
I have heard their poison lies and I just shut my mouth
It was easier to keep in then just to let it out

Don't speak, don't breathe,
don't ask for anything you need
Don't ask, don't listen, don't hear, don't see
this house of cards is falling down on you and me

When the lightning storms I crawl in bed with you,
in bed with you to keep warm
There were shadows on the walls
there were voices in the hall
I feel your kick, stir, kicking
but I never heard you call

Don't speak, don't breathe,
don't ask for anything you need
Don't ask, don't listen, don't hear, don't see
this house of cards is falling down on you and me
tear it down, burn it up, wipe it away
repeat this to yourself, everything will be ok

She's hearing voices that are not her own
When she gets lonely she calls me on the phone
