Is that you there Or just another demon that I meet? The higher you walk The farther you fall The longer the walk The farther you crawl My body my temple This temple it tells "Step into the house that Jack built" The higher you walk The farther you fall The longer the walk The farther you crawl My body my temple This temple it tells "Yes this is the house that Jack built" Open doors as I walk inside Swallow me so the pain subsides And I shake as I take this in Let the show begin Let the show begin Let the show begin The higher you walk The farther you fall The longer the walk The farther you crawl My body my temple This temple it tells "Yes this is the house that Jack built" The higher you walk The farther you fall The longer the walk The farther you crawl My body my temple This temple it tells "Yes I am I am I am" Open my eyes It swallows me Is that you there I twist away Away Away Away
