This Is Not The House That Pain Built Testo

My house is hard to find, but I'll give you directions,Ý 
You can visit sometime, down where all that I built surrounds meÝ 
Just make sure your car's got good shocksÝ 
There's steep hills, there's potholes, there's rocksÝ 

I work in the garden, my son plays around meÝ 
Close the gate behind you, there's a horse that can't get outÝ 
I will see you first, is that all rightÝ 
And can you remember, can you rememberÝ 

This is not the house that pain builtÝ 
This is not the house that pain builtÝ 
I was drowning in something, I jumped in the riftÝ 
And you knew me back then, when I spat on my gift, but noÝ 

It's tough and it's tiring when you go it aloneÝ 
I learned about wiring, I learned about stoneÝ 
The building is done but the work's never throughÝ 
And I won't give up, no how, it reminds me of who I am and where I am nowÝ 
I remember myself, that's the work that I doÝ 
On a spring night when the snow is meltingÝ 
You'll see two sets of footprints walkingÝ 
Look at all the stars, and turn around, and walk home,Ý 
Slowly walk home.Ý 

This is not the house that pain builtÝ 
That is not a house that pain builtÝ 
My friends all think that I holed up and hidÝ 
But I tell them I didn't, you know I don't think I did, no.Ý 

And this is where I let my pain goÝ 
This is where I let my pain goÝ 
This is where the footprints dance in the snow
