The House That Pain Built

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

My faith (faith)

and my love

but howl, howl, howl, the pain

My faith (faith)

and my blood

oh why, why, wild insane

My faith (faith)

and my people

We'll howl, howl, howl, the pain

My faith (faith)

and my freedom

I'll never let it go again

Not anymore

I must let go

and when I finally reach the point of no return

I must let go

because I know

I'm manic I'm manic I'm manic so..

And when you need catharsis (yes)

because it's how you're made, you know (yes)

And when you need absolving (yes)

Don't ask how

but come into my house...

of pain

My faith (faith)

and my love

but howl, howl, howl, the pain

My faith (faith)

yes my own will

oh, see me thru this pain

My faith (faith)

in my blood

and flow right thru my vein

My faith (faith)

and no reason

I'll never be the same

Not anymore

I must let go

and when I finally reach the point of no return

I must let go

because I know

I'm manic I'm manic I'm manic so..

And when you need catharsis (yes)

because it's how you're made, you know (yes)

And when you need absolving (yes)

Don't ask how

but come into my house...

of pain

My faith (faith)

and my love

but howl, howl, howl the pain

My faith (faith)

and my freedom

I'll never let it go again.

Not anymore

I must let go

and when I finally reach the point of no return

I must let go

because I know

I'm manic I'm manic I'm manic so..

And when you need catharsis (yes)

because it's how you're made, you know (yes)

And when you need absolving (yes)

Don't ask how

but come into my house...

of pain

And when you need catharsis (yes)

because it's how you're made, you know (yes)

And when you need absolving (yes)

Don't ask how

but come into my house...

of pain
