Why dream
We're breaking out of this machine
We'll bathe the walls in gasoline
And watch the fires grow
We'll burn this house
And raise the fense that keeps us in
The cabinets and the medicine
Beds like boxcars in a road.
And when the wave come sweeping
The cold blood sleeping in your veins
Your veins
After the fire
The sun comes crashing through a cloud so black and full of rain
(Of rain)
After the fire
I swear one day we'll forget them locking us away, away
After the fire
Locked in
The days will end as they begin
With yellow moonlight on your skin
This madhouse, it's no home.
Let's go home, get matches, cut the phones
When the wave comes sweeping
The cold blood sleeping in your veins, your veins
After the fire
The sun comes crashing through a cloud so black and full of rain, of rain
After the fire
I swear one day we'll forget them locking us away, away
After the fire
We were dancing with the ashes falling,
We were singing by the open flame
Let it burn
Tomorrow is another day
We were dancing with the ashes falling
We were singing by the open flame
Let it burn
Let it burn
Tomorrow is another day
The wave comes sweeping
The cold blood sleeping in your veins, your veins
After the fire
The sun came crashing through a cloud so black and full of rain, of rain
After the fire
I swear one day we'll forget them locking us away, away
After the fire
I swear one day we'll forget them locking us away, away
After the fire
Whoa oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
