Housefire Lyrics

I can't fly without you - please, help me

I saw your ashen hands

Leaking warmer blood than mine

I traced my breath across the skin

Searching for a sound of the human within

I scoured the burning house

Cleared every scent of your DNA

There's nothing left for you

So cut your autumn ties

I threw your photograph into the blaze

And now all I can see is my face

In pools of warmer blood than mine

Saw my reflection, darker the second time

Little, little particles of happy days

Raining down and eating at your skin like a parasite

Failing, failing, looking back

And trying to remember what the peace looked like

Hailing, hailing debris and it's yelling out to

Run before the whole thing crumbles and dies

So tell me, tell me

If you will abide

In pools of warmer blood than mine

Saw my reflection, darker the second time

Burn the lies, watch them fly

Fall like timber, I'm the arsonist

So I can take you to the ruins

If you dare insist

In pools of warmer blood than mine

Saw my reflection, darker the second time

And the bridges are burning now

And the wheel is turning now

When the inferno settles

And you wanna retrace our steps

Wading through liquid metal

I want the scars on the cinder to be mine

And they'll be mine

Tonight

In pools of warmer blood than mine

Saw my reflection, darker the second time

Oh, burn the lies

Fall like timber, I'm the arsonist

Oh, watch them fly

If you dare insist

Burn the lies, burn the lies, ha-ha

Burn the lies, burn the lies, ha-ha
