House Fire Songtext
von Empty Atlas

It started in the rafters
And after, it went every which way
You′re always burning those hollow hallways

I tracked you down, your guilty crown
Flames keep falling from your mouth
Still you know I'd love to put you out if I could

You′re burning like a house fire
Turning blackest night as bright as day
Keeping all the neighborhood awake
What's it gonna take for me to save you, house fire?
House fire

I'm silencing the subtle way of speaking
Like you don′t know just what I mean
You′re always turning a deaf ear toward me

It's only getting worse for you
These impulse moves and vacant actions you excuse
You know I′d put you out if I could

And this is the part you see
That everything I've done was for your good


You′re burning like a house fire
Turning blackest night as bright as day
Keeping all the neighborhood awake
What's it gonna take for me to save you?

You′re burning like a house fire
Turning blackest night as bright as day
Keeping all the neighborhood awake
What's it gonna take for me to save you?

Maybe in another place
Maybe in another time
No, there's only right here, right now
No point in pulling that line

Princess of ash heaps, queen of the pyre
Whether you think that it′s holy
Know that a fire′s still a fire's still a fire′s still a fire
And you're burning

House fire
Turning blackest night as bright as day
Keeping all the neighborhood awake
What′s it gonna take for me to save you?


You're burning like a house fire
Turning blackest night as bright as day
Keeping all the neighborhood awake
What′s it gonna take for me to save you, house fire?
