LYRICS

And you were a house on fire and I couldn't understand why

"Burn me all down to the ground," you said, the fire is on the inside

Flames dancing like ghosts behind the windows

Pain jumping from the walls

You want to keep this private, I can see that

But you can't ask that of me, we've only just met

I said we need hope now more than ever before, do you believe it?

The answer was silence, I'll take it as a no

We all want to be normal anyways

We all want to be somewhere else than where we live

But that's not reality, it's just point of view

Let's not talk about the weather

And whether or not there's really rain in the clouds

Unless you just want to know if I feel the same as you

It's more measuring up than just wasting time

But time is not on our side, you're burning

Rain would only be a temporary fix

And there's just no place right now for cute ironies like that anymore

You're a house on fire

We all write songs about life, we just sing them different

You sing the words but you don't know the song

And you expect us all to sing along, how selfish

The lengths that we go to to put so much distance between us is staggering

You're burning alive with stress and life

Both hands in flames trying to hold the fire inside

Drop and roll, repeat line for emphasis

I'll repeat it and repeat it until you believe it

You're gonna be ok, say it to me

The answer is still silence, I'll take it as a maybe

I can't decide if I should knock down your door or on it

Say the word and I'll take a hatchet to your heart or a pin prick

Cut right through the dark, let it spill out the contents

On our knees sorting through the remnants

Pour out your hate in my hands, I'll let it slip through my fingers

And this is for all of us

And this is for the times that we only listen long enough to know that the other person we're talking to has the same opinions we do

For when we're burning inside, for when we're trying to hide that fact

This is for the scalps that we went after to be only the best-dressed

Add another notch to our belts, add another feather to our headdress

I want to be the bigger man for you, but I can't take all this truth

I'm trying to kick the habit here, but these track marks are 100 proof

"Burn me all down to the ground," you said

I'll kick through your ashes, hope they sober up my head

his poetry is the most real, honest, and beautiful poetry ive ever heard/read. every line is stunning and every line makes you think. I would never change anything about this band. his voice is full of feeling and passion and it makes the poetry hit me harder. if you don't like the way he speaks remember he's speaking his true thoughts and feelings, and if he said it any other way it wouldn't be true.I am in love with this band.

ive showed this to other people and i always get one of two reactions. it either hits them really hard and they fucking love it, or theyre too stupid to understand what hes saying and why he yells like that. who fucking cares why, you can hear everything this guy says in the way he says it. hes sounds completely smashed but its so godamn beautiful. even if he was actually smashed, its be just as beautiful or maybe even more than. this song only effects people who have really struggled with something, most likely their entire life and current life. and everyone else, just hasnt ever experienced anything that could make them feel something this strongly. if they had, theyd get it. it wouldnt fucking matter what his voice sounds like. i personally fucking love it. so much
