lyrics
Nothing’s square
In the house that you built:
Not the window-frames
Or the room we shared
Not the stairs, spiraling to nowhere
No, it’s perilous: the four walls are leaning
The ceiling careens
Threatening to fall on us, darling
It’s falling already
Nothing’s fair,
So they like to tell you
Nothing’s ever quite
What you might have planned
What was flawless drawn up on paper
Is now perilous: the four walls are leaning
The ceiling careens
Threatening to fall on us, darling
It’s falling already
You wrote your note in pencil
Which’ll fade
Like the tensile-strength
Of the life you’d made
Out of wreckage
From the scrapheap
Everything you did you did on the cheap
And it’s me here suffering the consequences
And it’s perilous: the four walls are leaning
The ceiling careens
Threatening to fall on us, darling
It’s falling already
It’s falling already
It’s falling already
In the house that you built:
Not the window-frames
Or the room we shared
Not the stairs, spiraling to nowhere
No, it’s perilous: the four walls are leaning
The ceiling careens
Threatening to fall on us, darling
It’s falling already
Nothing’s fair,
So they like to tell you
Nothing’s ever quite
What you might have planned
What was flawless drawn up on paper
Is now perilous: the four walls are leaning
The ceiling careens
Threatening to fall on us, darling
It’s falling already
You wrote your note in pencil
Which’ll fade
Like the tensile-strength
Of the life you’d made
Out of wreckage
From the scrapheap
Everything you did you did on the cheap
And it’s me here suffering the consequences
And it’s perilous: the four walls are leaning
The ceiling careens
Threatening to fall on us, darling
It’s falling already
It’s falling already
It’s falling already
