How the Hell Did We Get Here? - Matt Skiba

How The Hell Did We Get Here?

We’ve been walking in circles all night long

Never held onto my fear, but it seems like you sensed it all along

How the hell did we get here?

Like three blind bats lost in the light, with our destinies unclear

We’re quiet as cathedral mice on lithium

Now I gotta level with you baby I’ve taken all that I can

You came and went and you left me crazy

Off in a far away land

Now I gotta level with you baby I am lost and alone

At the end of this hallway maybe this house of leaves is a home

How The Hell Did We Get Here?

We’ve been spiraling downward now for days

Never once shed all my tears 'til my sense of direction went away

How The Hell Did We Get Here?

Three little pigs, strapped, gagged, and bound

Lycanthropic and sincere

You came to blow our door straight down…

Now I gotta level with you baby, I’ve taken all that I can

You came and went and you left me crazy, off in a far away land

Now I gotta level with you baby, I am lost and alone

At the end of this hallway maybe this house of leaves is a home

As you felt East Germany, slowly freezing in your bones

Just as my insanity came like blood through your telephone

And now every other Sunday, they will line up out the door

To wish you well in hell forevermore

Forevermore

Now I gotta level with you baby I’ve taken all that I can

You came and went and you left me crazy, off in a faraway land

Now I gotta level with you baby, I am lost and alone

At the end of this hallway maybe this house of leaves is a home
