Brother Ali - Haunted House lyrics
rate meHaunted House / Brother Ali[Bridge]Broken, brokenBroken, brokenBroken, brokenThe foundation's, The foundation'sBroken, brokenBroken, broken[Verse 1]I knew love could be a sunriseMake an old man see the world with young eyesRound each corner discover he liesSummertime, the world full of surpriseEvery sunset so it start setting inBut you will never see morning againThe flame that you had was now gone in the windStart to get old, feel bored with your friendYour mind start to wander, your eyes start to followAnd wind up on some young behind trying to hollerThe dudes that you think are your guys ain't trying to stop youThey grab binoculars, sit back and watch the opraWhat she thought was hers you now share with anotherAnd you and something got a secret you keep from herMake her foolish for ever having trustedOvercoming your shortcomings cuz she loves you[Hook]Such a beautiful dawn and we flow right along, so warm till the sun went downCan the day rise again? I'd wait, my friend, but I don't know howDon't want to leave but I don't want my demons to return and haunt this houseThe foundation's, The foundation'sBroken[Verse 2]But you know its dead wrong that I ain't never felt so rightThe heart and the mind, they don't always coincideEvil dig a ditch, he cover it with prideHe come to webilize we weave to try and hideThe truth is on a mission to make his way to the lightIt knows it has its right to take flightThe universal laws are too strong to fightOne day its going to set up shop in plain sightTime can ice the pain and try to hide the stainAnd glue it back together yet it's never quite the sameEven if she forgives you, she decide to stayThat memory live inside her until her dying dayShe goes through the pages of history with a heavy heartScratching question marks next to all the precious partsYour best memories start to develop scarsWould've never thought it'd ever fall apart but[Hook][Verse 3]I use to find a hiding place inside you tight embraceNow all I see in your face are my mistakesToo much time I done placed around snakesSaw the apple, had to know how it tastesI acted out of ego, acted out of lustActed outside of the trust we had in usI acted out a scene from a film I had seen beforeStill casted myself in that leading roleWhen I was finished playing, I stood there saying "See?"But there was no director yelling "Cut" to keep it cleanThe camera kept rolling and went behind the scenesThe bonus material from the DVDThe audience is watching, yelling at the screensaying "Say it isn't so, please tell me it's just a dream"I use to be the gleam in your eye but that died outNow I'm that little streak of white in your eyebrow[Hook x2]
