The people in the back are unsettling,
So I'll stay out here in the daylight.
I don't put my feet in the wrong hands, I
Might get caught in the bits of stray light.

Stay to the wall, kids, and
Don't get lost in the noise.
Nothing comes out well
when people are used as toys.

::CHORUS::
Don't even try,
cause you never stay dry,
when the ceiling comes off(.)
of a secret house,
oh, it all comes out,
when the floor gets soft.

A montage of the summer, fades to dark,
When you think of what you've done after.
Hidden underneath your corner card table,
'Til you hear its muffled laughter.

The tower might beat you up
before it cleans you over.
So you're standing on the dirty
Ground ready to start it over.

::CHORUS::
Don't even try,
cause you never stay dry,
when the ceiling comes off(.)
of a secret house,
oh, it all comes out,
when the floor gets soft.

Waste my time, so I get the message.
Chase my mind, so I notice the wreckage.
Maybe I can build a castle better than the last one.
Better yet I'll undo the lies it was built upon.

::CHORUS::
Don't even try,
cause you never stay dry,
when the ceiling comes off(.)
of a secret house,
oh, it all comes out,
when the floor gets soft.
