Wild Guess
What's left, what's left?
I can't afford a breath
I can't afford a single cigarette
So take a wild guess
I was thinking of trying on my own
Cut my cards and don't pick up the phone
Like a river full of dirt
I'm hurt as we burn
Like a petri-dish of mould
Enclosed, so cold
In what way do you suffer?
I've been trying, trying, trying, trying hard not to glamourise
I don't want to get old
Or die at home alone
Sitting there just staring at the phone
Like a river full of dirt (like a river, just like a river)
I'm hurt (like a river, just like a river)
As we burn (like an ember, just like an ember)
(Like an ember, just like an ember)
Like a petri-dish of mould (like a petri, just like a petri)
Enclosed (like a petri, just like a petri)
So cold (so cold, so cold, so cold, so cold, so cold, so cold)
The more you take the more they gain
The more it hurts the more it pains to say
We won't be alright with the house on fire
Lit it on purpose, pretended not to notice
Slash and grab through burnt prefab
It's happening again
Like a river full of dirt (like a river, just like a river)
I'm hurt (like a river, just like a river)
As we burn (like an ember, just like an ember)
(Like an ember, just like an ember)
Like a petri-dish of mould (like a petri, just like a petri)
Enclosed (like a petri, just like a petri)
So cold (so cold, so cold, so cold, so cold, so cold, so cold)
Like a river full of dirt
I'm hurt
As we burn
Like a petri-dish of mould
Enclosed
So cold
I can't afford a breath
I can't afford a single cigarette
So take a wild guess
I was thinking of trying on my own
Cut my cards and don't pick up the phone
Like a river full of dirt
I'm hurt as we burn
Like a petri-dish of mould
Enclosed, so cold
In what way do you suffer?
I've been trying, trying, trying, trying hard not to glamourise
I don't want to get old
Or die at home alone
Sitting there just staring at the phone
Like a river full of dirt (like a river, just like a river)
I'm hurt (like a river, just like a river)
As we burn (like an ember, just like an ember)
(Like an ember, just like an ember)
Like a petri-dish of mould (like a petri, just like a petri)
Enclosed (like a petri, just like a petri)
So cold (so cold, so cold, so cold, so cold, so cold, so cold)
The more you take the more they gain
The more it hurts the more it pains to say
We won't be alright with the house on fire
Lit it on purpose, pretended not to notice

It's happening again
Like a river full of dirt (like a river, just like a river)
I'm hurt (like a river, just like a river)
As we burn (like an ember, just like an ember)
(Like an ember, just like an ember)
Like a petri-dish of mould (like a petri, just like a petri)
Enclosed (like a petri, just like a petri)
So cold (so cold, so cold, so cold, so cold, so cold, so cold)
Like a river full of dirt
I'm hurt
As we burn
Like a petri-dish of mould
Enclosed
So cold
