The Hidden Room
About this track
A love letter to Silent Hill Lyrics I was born beneath a ceiling That never learned my name With hands too small for reaching And a mouth too full of blame I heard her in the wind I saw her in the rain A lullaby through foggy halls Calling me again There were numbers in the darkness There were signs beneath my skin A gentle voice behind me Said the door was locked within It taught me how to listen To the spaces under breath How love becomes a hunger When it has no place to rest Mother, are you waiting Past the rust and candlelight Past the rooms that keep on turning Past the secrets inside the night I have cut my way through hesitation I have worn my fingers through Every scar becomes an altar Every altar made to you I climb mistakes like stairways Ascend them one by one Each step a little closer to the burning sun And power flows like blood Dark and black beneath the door The more I spill, the more I need The more I needed more The spirit spoke in whispers With a mother’s tender tone Or something wearing mercy A thin veil across the bone It said that pain was passage It said that blood was key It said the lost are waiting Where the faithful learn to see If I was the wound Then let me be the knife If I was the child Then crown me with the night If I was abandoned Let the whole world understand I will make a kingdom From the hollow of my hand Mother, are you calling From the place beyond the wall Or is it only my hunger Dressed in white and standing tall I have opened every threshold I have broken every law Still the room goes on forever Still I reach for what I saw
