lyrics

THIS HOUSE by Ezra /thomas


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
