House on Fire

I won't lie all your revenges hurt me like nothing else before
All the stabbing in ways that I can't defend, by dirty roads

She lies, I weep
I cry, she wins

But there is something you never understood about me
I've fallen too many times in hells that you would never imagine by yourself
I hope you feel safe with your guns and in your empire of hate
I'm outside the reach of your razor
And one more time, I swear, I swear, I will survive

Old ghosts remind me every day that we both were wolfs trying to destroy each other
That we both were kids that cry when the rain falls and scream as the sun rises

Fighting to hide our rotten roses struggling to survive in this cruel world
That's why teenagers break buildings because they don't allow new colors in their walls

Every fortress is predestined to fall when it has been built in fear and dissatisfaction
And I broke it
I broke it

I broke it when the dust covered my eyes, preventing me from seeing
That the good days are forsaking me
I broke it, but you wanted to save a burning house
Only to then kill that which we left behind

Be careful!
Be careful what you want
You might dance with the devil again

And as you kept your childish reproaches, I found a purpose
All wars were not in vain, they built me
To believe in your fantasy of rising above
You've cursed this place
I'm not alone and hurt like you want to believe
Now I'm creating the beauty with Helen of Troy
And if one day we stop trying
We'll leave behind a masterpiece, not ruins like yours
I don't hate you, I don't hate you
I hope that it doesn't destroy you
