Fell asleep in his worn out boots
Drifting off in his sweat and sound of you
Waking up to the morning news
Crying parents as they tried to share it
Through the consoling he has come in cool
They wander how and he says, under his breath
'When the house is on fire
Air fills my lungs
I satisfy desire
From watching all you run
Yeah the house is on fire
Hear the sirens scream
My hands hold the lighter
It fits so naturally'
Everybody knew the fame you craved
But no one told you we're born astride the grave
Familiar eyes through a moonlit haze
Had you confused as they begin their march towards you
In the dark now it starts
This is why they call it skeleton park
See you smile but then it whispers
'When the house is on fire
Hear the sirens scream
My hands hold the lighter
It fits so naturally
When the house is on the fire
Air fills my lungs
I satisfy desire
From watching all you run'
The house is on fire
I love you but the house is on fire
Yeah I love you but the house is on fire
Fell asleep in his worn out boots
Drifting off in his sweat and sound of you
