about

I sing of childhood fear and a room that still scares me, even as an adult. The song came about when I was home lying in this room, and our bass player back in Finland asked for a working song title. I had just thought, This House Breathes Fear, and so the song was born.

lyrics

THIS HOUSE BREATHES FEAR

Something inside me tightens
when I cross the threshold
to this room
where the midnight terrors loom.
I lie in a bed
you could tie me to,
like we've dreamed,
but I'm back in my childhood bondage.

In the house that breathes fear
In the house that breathes fear
the house breathes fear

Too many gaping windows
too many open doors
a banging, breathing heater
beneath the floor.
I'd lie awake for hours
body turned to stone,
my breathing shallow
trying to make it all alone.

In the house that breathes fear
In the house that breathes fear
the house breathes fear

All alone
All alone
All alone
All alone

This - house – breathes – fear
This - house – breathes – fear
This - house – breathes – fear
This - house – breathes – fear

All alone
All alone
All alone
All alone
