Now The House Is Burning

[instrumental intro] [verse 1] I’m still running away Always running away Confrontation and frustration I’ll have nothing to say I’m all set for today Keeping practicing self subjugation [pre-chorus] Just like a leaf floats in the stream (I mean, what’s the worst that can happen?) Tethered with passivity (have the torrents begun to quicken?) [Chorus] Coveting the quiet corner of my world, watching all the flames rise up out the window Keep the cinders from the fireworks, Pavlovian anxiousness awaiting the crescendo The fuse has been lit and now the house is burning down, Now the house is burning down, burning down, Years up to the sky, but only minutes to the ground Now the house is burning down, burning down, [verse 2] I’ e decided to stay I decided to stay Contempt and contemplation I’ll have something to say I’ll damn night and all day Keeping practicing self flagellation [pre-chorus 2] Just like a leaf floats in the stream (I mean, what’s the worst that can happen?) Withered with anxiety (The waterfall lies just around the bend) [Chorus] Coveting the quiet corner of my world, watching all the flames rise up out the window Keep the cinders from the fireworks, Pavlovian anxiousness awaiting the crescendo The fuse has been lit and now the house is burning down, Now the house is burning down, burning down, Years up to the sky, but only minutes to the ground Now the house is burning down, burning down, [Bridge] Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah It’s burning down Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah It’s burning down Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah It’s burning down Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah It’s burning down [Chorus] Coveting the quiet corner of my world, watching all the flames rise up out the window Keep the cinders from the fireworks, Pavlovian anxiousness awaiting the crescendo The fuse has been lit and now the house is burning down, Now the house is burning down, burning down, Years up to the sky, but only minutes to the ground Now the house is burning down, burning down, (It’s burning down) Burning down (It’s burning)
