lyrics
The timber floors were worn out from the strain
Of having furniture and feet drag through their grain
A lot of people had lived here, not many had stayed
The latch had been broken on the old door frame
Oh, how we knew there were demons in these walls
We entertained them; 'cos that's what friends are for
I will not try to squeeze blood out from a stone
You want to be the voice in my head
I'd rather die alone
Where wild horses roam
We took a long walk beyond the meadow there
You took a dying flower and placed it through your hair
You said you were tired, so you lay down
You nestled your head into the cool, damp ground
That's where they found you motionless and cold
Freed from the burden of ever growing too old
The house will be empty long before they come
And they'll never find me or know these things I've done
And they'll all be laughing, the demons in these walls
They'll keep my secret, 'cos that's what friends are for
Of having furniture and feet drag through their grain
A lot of people had lived here, not many had stayed
The latch had been broken on the old door frame
Oh, how we knew there were demons in these walls
We entertained them; 'cos that's what friends are for
I will not try to squeeze blood out from a stone
You want to be the voice in my head
I'd rather die alone
Where wild horses roam
We took a long walk beyond the meadow there
You took a dying flower and placed it through your hair
You said you were tired, so you lay down
You nestled your head into the cool, damp ground
That's where they found you motionless and cold
Freed from the burden of ever growing too old
The house will be empty long before they come
And they'll never find me or know these things I've done
And they'll all be laughing, the demons in these walls
They'll keep my secret, 'cos that's what friends are for
