Cursive - This House Alive Lyrics
There are voices in the attic
Wispy whispers past the cabinets
Filled with tawny photographs
I am stolid, I am steadfast
Where there's panic, lingers relapse
This house alive
I can hear the floorboards breathe
Creak, creak
Are these angels come to take me?
If so, I'll wave my white flag willingly
I have shed my snake-skinned past
Clustered flies hinder the windows
For every angel there's a devil
I was a God-fearing boy
Sure, I stumbled more than once
But so did his begotten son
An orphan, thrown out to the wolves
Not prodigal, far worse
I was hustled, I was scorned
Made a criminal...
But I stand here reformed
There are voices in the dead of night
A child screaming, "I am Gemini!"
Oh, what are you, and why?
Are you specter? Are you spirit?
Am I lucid, am I losing it?
Oh no, this macabre facade
These walls, paper thin

Cursive This House Alive Comments
Just saw them last Sunday in Omaha. So awesome.
I've known about cursive for a while. I started listening to it when the Ugly Organ was new.
What's the deal with Cursive's next one 'i am classic?' Is he into rap now? Different person?
Terrible video. It distracts from the concept of the album. Tim's story is pure genius.
There's a ton of symbolism in the video that relates exactly to the concepts of the album...personally I find the video to be embody the dualities in the album quite well.
Cabin Fever
I love Cursive.
Yeah I didn't like this... Shouldn't it take place in the house that Cassius inherited?
I definitely agree wholeheartedly. But I would kill for a whole movie following the album's concept. Or any of Cursive or The Good Life's albums. Especially since Tim wrote a screenplay for "Help Wanted Nights". A guy can dream right? : )
forget the cello, bring steve pederson back on third guitar!
Very chilling, gives a nice story to compliment the song. I hope there's more videos from the album to follow this theme.
So much better with Cello, still pretty nice though.
This is why I love Cursive.
Awesome song. Awesome album. Awesome band. Also, awesome video. Sometimes it feels that way, you need to escape, but is just yourself (your gemini, in that case) who keeps you tied to everything.
i miss the cello.
