House of Detention

There's a wall that you built on the inside
Needs to be chipped away
By anyone showing you affection
It looks like to me yeah you're stranded…
In your House of Detention

Behind the wall there's a room
Where you love to play
It holds the key to your indiscretion
There are memories for you…
In your House of Detention

The picture you see hanging on your heart
It's blocking your view
There's a man there for you, wants to make a brand new start
He's waiting for you, waiting for you

The candles are burnin'
Atmosphere is complete
But your eyes are saying what your mouth won't mention
Too many memories, too many memories for you
In your House of Detention
