[00:58.50] There are voices in the attic
[01:01.50]
[01:04.48] Wispy whispers past the cabinets
[01:11.41] Filled with tawny photographs
[01:15.22] I am stolid, I am steadfast
[01:21.66] Where there's panic, lingers relapse
[01:26.60] Oh, no; those breakdown days are done
[01:34.73] This house alive
[01:39.10] I can hear the floorboards breathe
[01:44.10] Creak, creak
[01:58.54] Are these angels come to take me?
[02:04.22] If so, I'll wave my white flag willingly
[02:11.29] I have shed my snake-skinned past
[02:15.60] Clustered flies hinder the windows
[02:21.41] For every angel there's a devil
[02:27.10] Oh no, make these voices go away
[02:34.53] I was a God-fearing boy
[02:39.10] Sure, I stumbled more than once
[02:44.10] But so did his begotten son
[02:48.47] An orphan, thrown out to the wolves
[02:54.41] Not prodigal, far worse
[02:58.60] I was hustled, I was scorned
[03:02.84] Made a criminal...
[03:05.66] But I stand here reformed
[03:11.47] There are voices in the dead of night
[03:17.04] A child screaming, "I am Gemini!"
[03:24.66] Oh, what are you, and why?
[03:28.60] Are you specter? Are you spirit?
[03:34.66] Am I lucid, am I losing it?
[03:40.16] Oh no, this macabre facade
[03:44.10] These walls, paper thin
