World House
To feel incapable of nothing less
We were paved to pave the way
Our mouths knock the line, but heels hold it down
This mask so tight it's skin deep
An Anaheim 9-5
Much like Acadian assembly lines
Violence and silence, the rhymes of life
Put the same thing in the same sky
No matter their origin, exploding undeserved
Every floor bombed is a floor in the house of the world
But the collective brain remembers things
Perhaps as they should have been
And not the lies and the cruelty
That softens as it slips into memory
No matter their origin, exploding undeserved
Every floor bombed is a floor in the house of the world
Miss the bus, laugh a summer laugh
Walk to work, take the flower path
Which didn't happen, but did because it could have
Sitting pretty at the top of the world
Every floor is a floor in the house of the world
In every room is a feeling in every room there's a meaning
An Anaheim 9-5
Exactly like Acadian assembly lines
Let's be honest, let's be understood
Just 'cause we're better doesn't mean we're good
Every floor is a floor in the house of the world
