This House Lyrics

Well, This house is burning down

We're moving underground

Where silence is the cure

We'll have a drink or two

We'll watch the flame consume

All that we've waited for

Because we' prayed and we concealed

And we fought only to yield

And we lied until it's true

We'll save the children first

We'll watch and rest just burn

We'll clean up when it's through

This house I built for you

This house is burning down

I see no need to save us now

Though no flame will touch the ground

This house is burning down

I was in the dark

And I might have lit the spark

But you taught it how to live

You probably didn't know

It's not on the TV show

That teaches us to give

This house is where it is

This house is burning down

I see no need to save us now

Though no flame will touch the ground

This house is burning down

It's burning down

All the pictures and the frames

All the stories and the blame

Memories and lazy days

Burn it up, lets get away

The hope we ever found

In this world

Is burning down

You probably didn't know

It's not on the TV show

You probably didn't know

Well This house is burning down

I see no need to save us now

Though no flame will touch the ground

This house is burning down

It's burning down
