House Party by The Hearkening Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Doors open at their own discretion
To paths that lead nowhere worth runnin’
We’ve run out of leads
There’s no way to leave
Not how we envisioned dying in our dreams
Lights on but they’re blurring our vision
Can’t cope to replace what we’re missin’
Intoxicate me
For intimacy
But no one around me can see me for me
Celebrate but it’s all for nothin’
Wipe my tears with poison
Put my judgement to rest
It’s easy becomin’
Who I resent
When I wanna feel somethin’
Windows shut tightly but there’s still a breeze
The room spins like clockwork, no one has the key
The wooden floors creak and we feel empty
In our bodies, they’re temporary
Gone
Numb me, dumb me down
‘cause I know better than to do it to myself
[Chorus]
Let’s float like ghosts for a night
Haunt the house and dim the lights
Faded apparitions pretend to be fine
Dead within and lookin’ barely alive
We’ll float like ghosts for the night
Haunt the house and kill the lights
Faded apparitions appear to be fine
Dead within minutes, used to be half alive
[Verse 2]
Dig up the time capsule
Pop, pop, pop it like a pill
Eat it up, wash it down
And it’ll make you ill
Haunted by the past
But more haunted by the present
Just watching my life pass
When I don’t even feel like I’m present
I guess it’s been a long time comin, a long time comin’
‘cause I spent so much of my time runnin’, of my time runnin’
Out of time
Feel like a phantom half the time
[Chorus]
Let’s float like ghosts for a night
Haunt the house and dim the lights
Faded apparitions pretend to be fine
Dead within and lookin’ barely alive
We’ll float like ghosts for the night
Haunt the house and kill the lights
Faded apparitions appear to be fine
Dead within minutes, used to be half alive
[Bridge]
It’s obvious we’re out of plans
To change or to better ourselves
Don’t wanna get stuck in the past
But it’s all we have if nothing else
Doors open at their own discretion
To paths that lead nowhere worth runnin’
We’ve run out of leads
There’s no way to leave
Not how we envisioned dying in our dreams
Lights on but they’re blurring our vision
Can’t cope to replace what we’re missin’
Intoxicate me
For intimacy
But no one around me can see me for me
Celebrate but it’s all for nothin’
Wipe my tears with poison
Put my judgement to rest
It’s easy becomin’
Who I resent
When I wanna feel somethin’
Windows shut tightly but there’s still a breeze
The room spins like clockwork, no one has the key
The wooden floors creak and we feel empty
In our bodies, they’re temporary
Gone
Numb me, dumb me down
‘cause I know better than to do it to myself
[Chorus]
Let’s float like ghosts for a night
Haunt the house and dim the lights
Faded apparitions pretend to be fine
Dead within and lookin’ barely alive
We’ll float like ghosts for the night
Haunt the house and kill the lights
Faded apparitions appear to be fine
Dead within minutes, used to be half alive
[Verse 2]
Dig up the time capsule
Pop, pop, pop it like a pill
Eat it up, wash it down
And it’ll make you ill
Haunted by the past
But more haunted by the present
Just watching my life pass
When I don’t even feel like I’m present
I guess it’s been a long time comin, a long time comin’
‘cause I spent so much of my time runnin’, of my time runnin’
Out of time
Feel like a phantom half the time
[Chorus]
Let’s float like ghosts for a night
Haunt the house and dim the lights
Faded apparitions pretend to be fine
Dead within and lookin’ barely alive
We’ll float like ghosts for the night
Haunt the house and kill the lights
Faded apparitions appear to be fine
Dead within minutes, used to be half alive
[Bridge]
It’s obvious we’re out of plans
To change or to better ourselves
Don’t wanna get stuck in the past
But it’s all we have if nothing else
