Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Paint peeled off the bedroom door
Stack of bills under the sink
Cracks climb up the kitchen wall
Like they’re trying hard not to think
Ashtray on the microwave
Half-warm beer by the TV stand
Every picture frame tilts to the side
Like it’s waiting for your hand
[Chorus]
The roaches hold hands
They’re the only ones dancing
In this falling-apart parade
Yeah
The roaches hold hands
Tiny kings in the cabinets
Where our good intentions fade
The roaches hold hands
They’re the only thing
Holding this house together anymore
[Verse 2]
Your sweatshirt on the shower rod
Still smells like a better year
We talk in notes on the counter
Stop saying what we really fear
Dishes stack like guilty thoughts
Sink’s rusted into the floor
Silence louder than the stereo
As you back out through the door
[Chorus]
The roaches hold hands
They’re the only ones dancing
In this falling-apart parade
Yeah
The roaches hold hands
Tiny kings in the cabinets
Where our good intentions fade
The roaches hold hands
They’re the only thing
Holding this house together anymore
[Bridge]
Maybe they’re braver
Than we ever were
Clinging in the shadows
Riding out the hurt (oh-oh)
If this whole place caves
And the roof gives in
They’ll still be there
Crawling through our sins
[Chorus]
The roaches hold hands
They’re the only ones dancing
In this falling-apart parade
Yeah
The roaches hold hands
Tiny kings in the cabinets
Where our good intentions fade
The roaches hold hands
They’re the last parade
Holding this house together anymore
