House on Fire Lyrics
I didn`t build this place
I didn`t get to pick where the trees were planted and the bricks were paved
I didn`t sink the post or hang the wire around this hell I`m in
And there`s no escape and nothing`s safe
When you`re a prisoner to everything
I couldn`t run away from my reflection
Smoke and mirrors in both directions
Empty memories on every wall
Burn the hurt to the ground just take it all
I poured the gas, I lit the match
Didn`t grab a damn thing on my way out
But I stopped and watched as the flames grew higher
To my house on fire
I still replay those words
Only ten years old and hate is what I heard
From that loving church
"And there`s no salvation on the road you`re takin` "
"And a kid like you ain`t worth saving"
I couldn`t run away from my reflection
Smoke and mirrors in both directions
Empty memories on every wall
Burn the hurt to the ground just take it all
I poured the gas, I lit the match
Didn`t grab a damn thing on my way out
But I stopped and watched as the flames grew higher
To my house on fire
Too fragile to be strong
And so afraid to be wrong
Oooaaaah woooaah
I couldn`t run away from my reflection

Smoke and mirrors in both directions
Empty memories on every wall
Burn the hurt to the ground just take it all
I poured the gas, I lit the match
Didn`t grab a damn thing on my way out
But I stopped and watched as the flames grew higher, higher, higher
To my house on fire
Fire (fire)
Fire (fire)
Fire
Fire
Fire
(end)
