My house is hard to find but I'll give you directions
You can visit sometime
Down where all that I built surrounds me
And just make sure your car's got good shocks
There's steep hills, there's potholes, there's rocks
I work in the garden, my son plays around me
And close the gate behind you
There's a horse that can get out
And I will see you first, is that all right?
And can you remember, oh
Can you remember
This is not the house that pain built
This is not the house that pain built
I was drowning in something, I jumped in the rift
And you knew me back then when I spat on my gift
But no, no, no
ย
It's tough and it's tiring when you go it alone
I learned about wiring, I learned about stone
The building is done but the work's never through
And I won't give up, no how
It reminds me of who I am and where I am now
I remember myself, that's the work that I do
On a spring night when the snow is melting
You'll see two sets of footprints walking
And look at all the stars and turn around
And walk home, slowly walk home
This is not the house that pain built
And that is not a house that pain built
My friends all think that I holed up and hid
But I tell them I didn't, you know I don't think I did
No, no, no
ย
And this is where I let my pain go (pain)
This is where I let my pain go (pain)
This is where the footprints dance in the snow, oh yeah
