I was remembering how I used to listen to this acoustic song years ago and all I had to run on was something about a lion and a bunch of guys in a white room. For weeks I’ve tried to find this and it finally came to me in a dream and I woke up and found it! Thank God!! I remember why I loved this song now!
Lion Skin is about the place between awake and asleep, when you have something heavy on your mind and when your imagination is the most vivid. I love the way HLH express the song meanings. Their overall talent is overwhelming.
I love that feeling you see them get at 2:16 when you can just feel the song coming together. It's kind of hard to explain, but I'm sure if you're in a band you know this feeling. It's a feeling where you just have to smile, because you know you all have come so far.
I wonder, can you daydream at night? Lying awake, I've had too much time I'm watching picture shows in the shadows Dance for the crowd tonight Imagination is such a vivid place to hide While stars watch over you Through silent homes The lights are out but I walk these halls The way I've walked before Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls The lights are out but I walk these halls I promised not to wake you, so I'll walk light, just so you can hear The rats in the roof and termites in the ceiling We'll hear everything except what we need to hear Sleeplessness is for the restless, and I'm just fine Left to wander, aimless in unconsciousness There's spiders crawling from the corners of my eyes Let them weave their little webs to snatch the sunlight from the lens I'm staring at the ceiling 'cause I'm fed up with the sight Weigh my eyelids back to sleep, sealed by silken silver threads While stars watch over you Through silent homes The lights are out but I walk these halls The way I've walked before Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls The lights are out but I walk these halls Cast the sheep out of your mind Count the wolves and we'll sleep tonight I stumble in and I stumble out of unfamiliar rooms in foreign houses But I'm at home, a ghost that has left behind his sheets Unrequited, until I wake up somewhere I know that I've never been I'll stay 'til sleep takes over you And I'll walk while stars watch over you Through silent homes The lights are out but I walk these halls The way I've walked before Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls The lights are out but I walk these halls The way I've walked before Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls The lights are out but I walk these halls Cast the sheep out of your mind Count the wolves and we'll sleep tonight
I have been listening to both versions of this song for almost hmmmm a good day now. I still haven't gotten sick of it. It's safe to say this is a band I will be following for a while!
Never heard of Fort Hope. Very much love HLH, Slaves (US), DGD etc. Quick song load of Fort Hope and very much impressed, so cheers for the comment. I'm off to binge now!
Just saw these guys a few nights ago play their first show on the tour and it was EPIC!!!!! GO see them! I got to meet them and they are the most humble guys and their live show was just as good if not better then their cd
awesome, I loved it!! my one criticism is that the vocals kinda sounded... forced, like he was power belting the whole song. the really powerful belting is good but should be used in moderation so to speak, you feel me? not saying he's a bad singer by any means though, one of my all time favorites, but this song wasn't necessarily his best work. but I still loved it. hands like houses will always be one of my favorite bands!! (also, check out the 2010 hair. nice)
This is certainly when he was still a bit more inexperienced/new... Listen to the Snow sessions version and you can tell a big difference in his delivery. He just keeps getting better in my opinion :)
This song was on replay last night for about two hours. Now, it starts again... :) This is beautiful. I can't even describe how amazing this song makes me feel.
@taillyho yes and no :P this was shot over about 10+ takes, playing to a live-ish recording we'd made earlier that day (guitars and drums were all recorded live but didnt look nearly this pretty; keys and vocals were added post-production). it's edited and mixed but we kept it as raw as we could :)
You guys are truly an amazing band and I'm going to try my best to spread your name and music around to my friends cause your music deserves to be heard
Hello everyone! You can now hear the full band version of this song ft. Tyler Carter (woe is me) and Jonny Craig (emarosa, Dance Gavin Dance). Exclusively on our facebook now!
what a genuinely stunning band. I did a drum cover of No Parallels because I enjoyed its explosivity so much, but even stripped down these guys sound wonderful.
yeah, i know exactly what you mean. when i found this band i was just like wow!! They all play instruments in their acoustic songs, and they are just so powerful and talented. and ground dweller wasn't what i expected it to be at all, although i really fell in love with it after maybe four days
10 years later, still know every word to this one.. pure nostalgia. mission this shit.
Will always be my favorite ❤️
Same. Ground Dweller always be my favourite album
Word.
hope you enjoyed the song nonetheless. we recorded it ourselves, mixed it ourselves and it's actually quite old now.
this has been one of my favorite videos in life since it came out
Older now and still like it.
It's ageless.
Pure gold 👌
I'm still listening in 2022. Love you guys tons!!
Damn almost 10 years.
Hope yall been great this past decade.
I was remembering how I used to listen to this acoustic song years ago and all I had to run on was something about a lion and a bunch of guys in a white room. For weeks I’ve tried to find this and it finally came to me in a dream and I woke up and found it! Thank God!! I remember why I loved this song now!
I love how everyone in this band is so lovely!
***** Then get lyrics? It's not all about the band's logo...
***** CTE has blown up really quickly and are one of the most popular bands right now...
This didn't age well...!
12 years later and I still listen to this band nearly weekly.
"I promised not to wake you, so I'll walk light, just so you can hear"
Definitely my favorite part of the song.
13 yrs later and the beauty, love, and passion just fills my soul with pure bliss. Nostalgic
It's amazing going back and seeing how much things have changed. By that I mean their hair styles! Hands Like Houses has always been so amazing!
I can't stop listening to this and their smiles are so contagious! I can't help but smile when they do
looooooool theyre so fetus. its cute.
This has always been my favorite video. I'm happy I rediscovered it.
beautiful...this is true talent
Saw these guys live with Silverstein in NY recently and my god they are amazing glad I got to see them and now I am a fan !
It's so nice to know that people inspired by bands like TREOS could make it this far. A new step for prog, no doubt.
Every once and a while a band comes by and completely blows you away. Hands Like Houses was that band for me.
He's unrecognizable in this video
Watching this again bring back so much memories... I've been following this guys since I first saw live videos of them at a cafe
wow trenton looked really diffirent here
Right? He looked so young. He's young still, but you know what I mean. XD I love this band. They helped me get me through my hardest times in college.
Who’s trenton?
Are you cheating on me?
This is my all time favorite song to sing to by them. It just has that amazing flow to it that makes it sound perfect.
Lion Skin is about the place between awake and asleep, when you have something heavy on your mind and when your imagination is the most vivid.
I love the way HLH express the song meanings. Their overall talent is overwhelming.
Discovered this band about 7 or 8 years ago, this is still my favorite song and version of the song, was fortunate enough to see them live too.
Trenton's hair tho
i love these guys so much. i cant wait to hear more from them... this is a great acoustic track.
A part of me is happy that this hasn't reached 1 million views yet.
Kai the hipster part? XD
I love that feeling you see them get at 2:16 when you can just feel the song coming together. It's kind of hard to explain, but I'm sure if you're in a band you know this feeling. It's a feeling where you just have to smile, because you know you all have come so far.
I wonder, can you daydream at night?
Lying awake, I've had too much time
I'm watching picture shows in the shadows
Dance for the crowd tonight
Imagination is such a vivid place to hide
While stars watch over you
Through silent homes
The lights are out but I walk these halls
The way I've walked before
Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls
The lights are out but I walk these halls
I promised not to wake you, so I'll walk light, just so you can hear
The rats in the roof and termites in the ceiling
We'll hear everything except what we need to hear
Sleeplessness is for the restless, and I'm just fine
Left to wander, aimless in unconsciousness
There's spiders crawling from the corners of my eyes
Let them weave their little webs to snatch the sunlight from the lens
I'm staring at the ceiling 'cause I'm fed up with the sight
Weigh my eyelids back to sleep, sealed by silken silver threads
While stars watch over you
Through silent homes
The lights are out but I walk these halls
The way I've walked before
Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls
The lights are out but I walk these halls
Cast the sheep out of your mind
Count the wolves and we'll sleep tonight
I stumble in and I stumble out of unfamiliar rooms in foreign houses
But I'm at home, a ghost that has left behind his sheets
Unrequited, until I wake up somewhere I know that I've never been
I'll stay 'til sleep takes over you
And I'll walk while stars watch over you
Through silent homes
The lights are out but I walk these halls
The way I've walked before
Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls
The lights are out but I walk these halls
The way I've walked before
Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls
The lights are out but I walk these halls
Cast the sheep out of your mind
Count the wolves and we'll sleep tonight
❤
I have been listening to both versions of this song for almost hmmmm a good day now. I still haven't gotten sick of it. It's safe to say this is a band I will be following for a while!
I really love this song so fucking much.
This video and this band are amazing! So much talent!
Wait syndicate is in hands like houses?
lol. He does look like him
Still one of my favorite songs. They're amazing and their songs never get old.
Trenton Woodley might be the best singer in music right now
Have you heard of Jonathan from fort hope? check out his voice, by far the best i've heard in this type of music
search: Jonny Craig and be amazed
Never heard of Fort Hope. Very much love HLH, Slaves (US), DGD etc. Quick song load of Fort Hope and very much impressed, so cheers for the comment. I'm off to binge now!
Just saw these guys a few nights ago play their first show on the tour and it was EPIC!!!!! GO see them! I got to meet them and they are the most humble guys and their live show was just as good if not better then their cd

i've been addicted to this band since i first listened to them. best. much love.
2:55 - 3:21 sounds like alexisonfire
What a talented group of musicians. you guys are inspiring.
awesome, I loved it!! my one criticism is that the vocals kinda sounded... forced, like he was power belting the whole song. the really powerful belting is good but should be used in moderation so to speak, you feel me? not saying he's a bad singer by any means though, one of my all time favorites, but this song wasn't necessarily his best work. but I still loved it. hands like houses will always be one of my favorite bands!! (also, check out the 2010 hair. nice)
Its his style, that's what he likes I guess :)
It's his style. He does it to show he's giving it his all. His best.
This is certainly when he was still a bit more inexperienced/new... Listen to the Snow sessions version and you can tell a big difference in his delivery. He just keeps getting better in my opinion :)
Amazing ! Such a good singer ! And band !
why is it so quiet...!
because you're a bitch.
Lol
I can't stop watching this, it's too beautiful
drums sounds sooooo shaky, like it was improv
Wow I remember watching this when I was thirteen and falling in love with this band for the very first time.. five years later and nothing's changed 💕
3:25 to 3:34 doe
Patrick Wilson yassss
thanks! that's a really beautiful meaning and very interesting! no wonder it's one of my favorite songs by them.
87 people can't hear
I imagined myself sitting in the room listening... overwhelming goose bumps.
music made in Australia > music in America
Agree
😒😒
This American agrees
most talented band ever these guys deserve so much more credit!!!!!!!!!!
This is sooo amazing!!! please never change!
im so glad these guys finally got signed. its been a long time coming awesome job guys!! beautiful song

i think this may be my favourite thing you guys have done so far. your acoustic stuff is amazing.
Will someone sign these guys already! Diamond in the rough for real. Can't wait for a full cd!
probably one of the most beautiful songs ever.
This song was on replay last night for about two hours. Now, it starts again... :) This is beautiful. I can't even describe how amazing this song makes me feel.
The last 2 hours of work today were very similar to your 10 years ago
can i just marry all of you?
you haven't got a clue how much i listen to this.
it's been on replay almost for the past month.
this is just perfect.
Just saw them last night and met Trenton and he was so amazingly nice! The band was perfect live c: It was the most fun I had in a long time~
these gauys are just too good im soooo soo excited to hear their album!
literally get chills when the gang singing comes in. honestly amazing. by far my most anticipated album at the moment. these guys will go far.
This song was amazing live. :) They are incredible live!!♥
pretty sure this is the best thing I've ever heard. Ever.
this song is the definition of my favorite kind of music.
I'm going to one of those shows too, it's going to kick ass
I actually love this song so much! You are awesome!
You guys kill it so hard. Can't wait for your full-length!
Yeah he's got a wonderful voice and everyone in this amazing band blends so very well. Perfection.
You guys are amazing straight up!
Collide with the Sky Tour
Gorgeous song; finally inspiring music that has a meaning.
@taillyho yes and no :P this was shot over about 10+ takes, playing to a live-ish recording we'd made earlier that day (guitars and drums were all recorded live but didnt look nearly this pretty; keys and vocals were added post-production). it's edited and mixed but we kept it as raw as we could :)

Exclusively on our facebook now!
This comment is a time capsule :,)
Damn, I'm in love with this video, his voice, the music
This is the most amazing thing i have ever listened too
those high notes make me melt.
I cry mainly because it speaks to me in ways I can't explain and I wish I could express the same emotion the vocalist does.
So glad I got the opportunity to see them live when they supported sleeping with sirens
i like how you guys all look sleep-deprived but can still manage to sound this good.
still know every word and still one of my favorite versions
I was there too! It was awesome! :D Trenton is such a sweetie.
Almost cried when I seen them Sunday
THIS BAND IS PERFECTION!!!
simply amazing!!!
one of my favorite acoustic songs
what a genuinely stunning band. I did a drum cover of No Parallels because I enjoyed its explosivity so much, but even stripped down these guys sound wonderful.
This is possibly the best band I have heard in a very long time.
Met Cooper and Joel at the Pierce the Veil concert last night which Hands Like Houses were supporting, absolutely fantastic guys.
Y'all are so awesome!
Glad you guys finally got signed, congratulations! You've been an inspiration to me for awhile now :)
You NEED to make an acoustic version of the complete Ground Dweller album! Love it.
After just discovering this band, Lion Skin is my favorite song. Now I found this... holy shit I'm in love.
yeah, i know exactly what you mean.
when i found this band i was just like wow!! They all play instruments in their acoustic songs, and they are just so powerful and talented.
and ground dweller wasn't what i expected it to be at all, although i really fell in love with it after maybe four days
I love all the above, I don't reckon a band can be "better" than another. This is the way THEY express their music. No one should be compared :D
I can't go a day without listening to this.
I'm seriously tearing at how beautiful the vocals are, (':
*0* I love your song guys, and the voice.. juste amazing!! Came to France!!
Can't stop listening to Ground Dweller♥ so amazing:)
