House of the Rising Sun lyrics

There is a house inside me They call the Rising Sun It built its walls with silence And I can't outrun My father chased the bottle My mother drowned in fear They left me with a hunger That whispers in my ear I found a friend in poison It held me through the night Now every vein’s a hallway Inside a house with no light Oh mother, tell your children Not to become like me A soul that's chained inside itself With no way to break free My dreams are torn and quiet My will is nearly gone Each breath I take, I feel the weight Of the Rising Sun I knock on every mirror But never see a man Just echoes in the hallway Where it all began The House of the Rising Sun Is carved into my skin No door, no key, no open road Just the hell I'm living in There is a house inside me They call the Rising Sun It grew from every time I fell And now I can't outrun
