A House On Fire

What can you do
When everything you know is gone
What kind of life can you lead
When there is no beyond

Anyone would end the world
If given the chance
We're heading headfirst to the grave
Falling through broken glass

It's been so long since the last time when
I didn't feel this way
A five year bad day
And I'm not sure what to do this time
Is it too late? Did I miss my chance?

Fuck you
Who's fucking dead now?
Yeah, you
Stay on the fucking ground
Fuck you
Who's fucking dead now?
Yeah, you
This life is nothing but a lie

There's blood on the pages
The paper cuts have gone too deep
There's so many faces
And too many promises to keep
I see you holding matches
On the floor with a choice before you
Don't hold back
Burn bright like a house on fire

Get down
The roof is collapsing
As the smoke floats to the sky
It's out of control now
With the strike of a match
The bright sky turns black

Burn down
The walls turn to dust
As the colors fade away
Your vision is grey now
The stars don't get any brighter than this

There's blood on the pages
The paper cuts have gone too deep
There's so many faces
And too many promises to keep
I see you holding matches
On the floor with a choice before you
Don't hold back
Burn bright like a house on fire

Fuck you
Who's fucking dead now?
Yeah, you
Stay on the fucking ground
Fuck you
Who's fucking dead now?
Yeah, you
This life is nothing but a lie

Remember when we were kids
And we didn't have to care
Remember when we were stupid
And everything was perfect

Now everything's gone wrong
We've all opened our eyes
But I wish that I could sew my eyes shut
And go back to the time
When my life still made sense please

Why can't I be a kid again (Close my eyes)
Why can't I be a kid again (Close my eyes)
Why can't I be a kid again (Close my eyes)
Why can't I be a kid again (Close my eyes)
Close my eyes (Why can't I be a kid again)
Close my eyes (Why can't I be a kid again)
Close my eyes (Why can't I be a kid again)
Close my eyes (Why can't I be a kid again)
