Lyrics
There's a little house on the outskirts of town
Tilted in a vow of dissonance
You better walk behind me
Walk behind me again
How many times have we burnt it all down?
Plumes of smoke, call it graveyard love
Walk behind me
Walk these hallways again
The greatest illusion in the X-ray wind
Take in my ruin, I keep clear of the windows
I can't return, return to you
It's just the fear
Is this just the fear of not knowin' if you're there?
If you're there
Could never fathom how to wake you up
Crushed by the weight of your crucible
You better walk behind me, walk behind
And on the day that you wiped it all clean
Lost in a whisper, did you say
"I'll never walk behind you, walk behind you, again"
The greatest illusion in the X-ray wind
Take in my ruin and I keep clear of the windows
I can't return, return to you
It's just the fear
Is this just the fear of not knowin' that you're there?
That you're there
I don't want to remember why
I don't want to remember why
I don't want to remember
I don't want to remember
So I don't want to remember why
