Cloudstreet (Acoustic)

This room This flaking ceiling feels like home But not the kind I've known And I'll never lay my head to rest Knowing what these walls could show. "We tried our best" she said "And we took it on But this time the battle was lost, well before it had begun for us" Even when you're here the house feels empty Like I'm talking to nobody Because the world revolves around you Like it always seems to do This house is always screaming and I can't get to sleep When I do it finds a way inside of all my dreams This house is always breathing, exhaling painfully This house will always haunt me, it knows everything that we have done Even when you're here the house feels empty Like I'm talking to nobody Because the world revolves around you Like it always seems to do Even when you're here the house is quiet While outside the streets they riot Watch the walls collapse around you As the silence buries you This room This flaking ceiling feels like home But not the kind I've known And I'll never lay my head to rest My thoughts will always roam Even when you're here the house feels empty Like I'm talking to nobody Because the world revolves around you Like it always seems to do Even when you're here the house is quiet While outside the streets they riot Watch the walls collapse around you As the silence buries you
