Black Walls 04:13
My old friend, it's been a while [Tearing the flesh away from her bones excited me] You'll never guess where I've been filed [Dead as Dreams] I've got a lot that's hidden now She's got this shot at getting out He's got these eyes that keep her down [Confined to the walls within this house. I am William Hall and I still desire young, warm flesh!] I took the last my glass could hold and skipped the line, September sold He's got these eyes that keep her down and something soft's kept me around It's done, it's done I'm pulling out So many swings turned upside down She'll never know what it's about I'll never see how she turns out Some come, some run Black walls, oh love Go on and on So numb, so dumb Oh, to just sit right down Can I just sit right down? [Oh hey! Spinny room...] Some come, some run Black walls, oh love Go on and on So numb, so dumb [My once loved Greta] FRANKIE: I think this is about where I gave up one time I was here by myself. GRETA: Oh you were? Did you go alone??

Mr. Sealy would load the house, passionately giving folks the backstory at the foot of the stairs, ax in hand. Above the door was an abacus, hung by Mr. Sealy himself. He used it to keep track of the night's count, balancing at close with the exit count, which was kept by Sargent Driller at the Slide of Doom. On the night of the Great September Storm of 1992, a mysterious occurrence took place. Attendance was light on account of the forecast - mostly just a handful of Creighton students. ... plus one guy who arrived all alone. His eyes were hidden by a floppy hat, and the phrase "I HEART BLACK WALLS" was emblazoned across his shirt in big, bold letters. He also smelled like a pitcher's worth of margaritas, which made Mr. Sealy wary. But the man pleaded, "Please. . . .I really need this." Mr. Sealy's curiosity was piqued by this man's fantastic oddness, so he was eventually welcomed in. Minutes later, the storm struck and everything went black. It would later be told that right at that moment, one of the third-floor actors had just found a floppy-hatted dude curled up on the floor in the maze. And as she reached down to help him up, he vanished right before her eyes. Mr. Sealy was the only one who ever believed her story. Because he had his abacus, and it counted one more soul in the manor than Sargent Driller did that night.

Don't build on me with anything that I can't push away Don't build on me with anything I can't make stay Don't build on me with anything that can't be saved Don't build on me that way Don't build on me with anyone who never ever slips Don't build on me with anyone who can't exist Don't build on me with anyone that I might miss Don't build on me like this A sunny outside This scary inside someplace to hide All covered up in beers and crumbs but still got arms and hands and thumbs So pick me up I am dumb and should be adding to the sum Oh, Love Don't build on me if all I have is anyone around Don't build on me if all I have she's lost and found Don't build on me if all I have feels safe and sound Don't go and turn me around So sunny outside This scary inside someplace to hide All covered up This blissful buck He's got eyes, his heart and lungs He'll pick you up then give you up Nothing ever ever comes Oh, Love

Fires all through my head The city's written warning had trapped me in Billy's broken hallways But you came to see all our possibles pending and climbed up singing sweet outside The well was not the ending You won't be caught in a passionless hole and I will follow you wherever the queue line goes You came to see all our possibles pending and climbed up singing sweet outside The well was not the ending
