In "Dying In This House," Mack Geiger mourns a love that ended in betrayal, lying awake beside a ghost in the home they once shared. The house itself becomes a trap, its walls and forgotten plants mirroring promises that withered and trust that burned away. Choosing to crawl into the flames, they would rather feel nothing than keep living with the cold, empty pain of what was lost. The song aches with the need to escape a place where every memory suffocates.
Dying In This House Lyrics by Mack Geiger
Layin’ all alone
In the dark
Of our home
I can’t sleep
In the bed
With your ghost
My heart’s heavy
The air is thick
The sheets are cold
My head is sick
Thinkin’ ’bout
What you’ve done
And why you’re gone
I’m dyin’ in this house
Like the little plants you forgot about
Like the wood that built the walls around
Like the promises you made to me
Like the trust we had and love we grew
Like the innocence I saw in you
Burnin’ me alive with no way out
I’m dyin’ in this house
I’ll crawl
Into the flames
‘Cause I know for certain I won’t escape
And pour some gas
On every dream
And memory
I don’t want to feel a thing
Burn me black
Set me free
From the cold
The empty pain
That lives in me
I’m dyin’ in this house
Like the little plants you forgot about
Like the wood that built the walls around
Like the promises you made to me
Like the trust we had and love we grew
Like the innocence I saw in you
Burnin’ me alive with no way out
I’m dyin’ in this house
I’m burnin’ alive with no way out
I’m dyin’ in this house
