House from Ego Jingles by Gabriel Hart

HOUSE (Hart)
How did this happen
What happens every night?
I’m afraid to do anything with you
Cause everything we do
We fight
You can’t stop asking why I can’t look you in the eyes
As you writhe around the floor
Howling every obscenity
While my eyes are on the door
I’m pondering eternity
And who I can rely on for a ride
From this creepy house down the street
With two people screaming inside

I’ve got this memory
One early Halloween
A house with no decorations
For some reason left me
Shivering
Two silhouettes throwing things and hollering
How would I know I was looking at
The future you and me
Trapped in a decaying home
Doomed to repeat history
The one time I tried to leave
You threatened suicide
In this creepy house down the street
With two people screaming inside

As I drew the window shade
A group of kids, they ran and hid
And I saw the little faces fill with fear
I felt stupid
How could we let this life go so awry?
We’ve become that creepy house down the street
With two people screaming inside
