House Fire (EP) lyrics
by The Upstart Crows
[Verse 1]
I don't know what is right
Stumbling blind by the gaslight, every night
Everything's a mistake
With no way to escape
While the fumes slowly fill up the room
Is it good? Are you sure?
Check again for blemishes
It's a trick to the eye
Turning perfect to poor
I’m not sure if these thoughts are mine
[Chorus]
Say that it's fine, while the house is on fire burning to the ground
'Cause you see, while the alarms always ringing you can't trust what you see
An overreaction? A hunt for perfection, I can barely breathe
(I can barely breathe, I can barely breathe)
[Verse 2]
Smashed the wall for a breakthrough
Left with nothing but a bloody head wound
Shadows snicker and snide
While temperature climbs
And the voices tell me I'm fine
Takes breath count to ten
Scrap it all and start again
Sacrifice must be made
If you got something to say
Know your just more fuel to the flame
[Chorus]
Say that it's fine, while the house is on fire burning to the ground
Cause you see, while the alarms always ringing you can't trust what you see
An overreaction? A hunt for perfection, I can barely breathe
(I can barely breathe, I can barely breathe)
[Outro]
f*ck!
