i know it well - yellow house lyrics

a vague, yet familiar scent
slips quietly underneath my window pain
as i sleep
dusting off the passions that just about remain
remnants, glistening
fall prey to the dripping light of a new morn
cue the velvet moan of the night
what a harrowing sight to behold
as dear security of old
dissolves under one’s hand
with no plan
in a desolate land
a man is left to stand
on his own

i know it well

masquerade the pain
behind kind and gentle eyes
still, a dawning fog descends
struggling to find the line between
reality and the impending fear of
the make believe
i recall the distinct call
of that demon i’ve met so many times before
a handshake so familiar and warm
he wanders in like a friend
when you’re in need
turns into a silent k!ller in the dark
he doesn’t guess
he doesn’t ask
he has no time to explain
why he brings with him this shame
in heavy burdens
i know it well

but i know of a sacred shrine
where the golden sun will shine
and drape the light like a honey veil
over all the evils that dim down and pale
an oasis in the h*lls of my days
where i always want to stay
where i’m warm
where i’m safe
a man free to quarrel with his mind
