The House Jack Built

Metallica · Load [1996]

Open doors so I walk inside

Close my eyes, find my place to hide

And I shake as I take it in

Let the show begin



Open my eyes, just to have them close again

Well on my way, but on my way to where I've been

It swallows me, as it takes me in it's fog

I twist away, as I give this world a nod



Open doors so I walk inside

Close my eyes

Find my place to hide

And I shake as I take it in

Let the show begin



Open my eyes, just to have them close once again

Don't want control

As it takes me down and down and down again



Is that the moon

Or just a light that lights this dead end street?

Is that you there

Or just another demon that I meet?



The higher you are

The farther you fall

The longer the walk

The farther you crawl

My body my temple

This temple it tilts

Step into the house that Jack built



The higher you are

The farther you fall

The longer the walk

The farther you crawl

My body my temple

This temple it tilts

Yes this is the house that Jack built



Open doors as I walk inside

Swallow me so the pain subsides

And I shake as I take this in

Let the show begin



The higher you are

The farther you fall

The longer the walk

The farther you crawl

My body my temple

This temple it tilts

Yes this is the house that Jack built



The higher you are

The farther you fall

The longer the walk

The farther you crawl

My body my temple

This temple it tilts

Yes I am I am I am



Open my eyes

It swallows me

Is that you there

I twist away



Away

Away

Away
