House Fire

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?
