The ceiling’s bleeding, the paint begins to peel I’m losing touch with everything I feel A quiet fire dancing on the floor I locked the keys inside the bedroom door I hear the wood crack underneath my weight I try to breathe but it is far too late The smoke is rising, turning into black There is a road but I can’t go back The walls are shaking, the heat is growing high The ghost of who I was is waving me goodbye Oh, let the clock run out I’m watching my own house burn down The flames are dancing all around You can’t save a man who wants to drown I’m watching my own house burn down I poured the gasoline to numb the pain Now every single spark is running through my vein I am the match beneath the smoke Choking on the promises I broke I’m watching my own house burn down The flames are dancing all around You can’t save a man who wants to drown I’m watching my own house burn down Every window shows the same collapse Lost inside my own time-lapse Every window shows the same collapse I became the fire I’m watching my own house burn down The flames are dancing all around You can’t save a man who wants to drown And I still held the match My beautiful decay It burns away And I’m the one who held the match
