Rats in the Cellar

You were not supposed to be here

You were not supposed to see this

This is not me, this is not me

This something acting on this body

You should not have come so suddenly

You should have knocked and you wouldn't have seen

Rats in the cellar, rats in the cellar

Just ignore the vermin and forget the whole thing

The truth won't hide

What sort of man am I?

To set these traps

And kill these rats

I must expose the lie

You didn't make these rats appear

When you don't see them, they're all still here

This is not you, this is not you

This is how I hide my sin from my fear

The truth won't hide

What sort of man am I?

To set these traps

And kill these rats

I must expose the lie

This one's inside

This one's inside

You can see its beady eyes

This one's inside

This one's inside

I can't clean my charcoal soul

What I need is the hand of an exterminator

The truth won't hide

What sort of man am I?

To set these traps

And kill these rats

I must expose the lie
