It's cold in your room at night
The walls so blank and white
Scrub till they're clean again
It leaves me when I'm down
Yeah they'll come and they'll go
Yet I don't know what's cold
From it comes the soundscape
The art is the escape
Step and the floor creaks
Echoes never stop repeat
The doors are frozen shut
Key turns and I trust
I come in through the back
It's warmer inside
Yeah they'll come and they'll go
Yet I don't know what's cold
From it comes the soundscape
The art is the escape
Yeah they'll come and they'll go
Yet I don't know what's cold
I tend to try to reshape
The art is the escape
