[Intro] [Verse 1] Grey smoke rising from the cushion foam This apartment doesn’t feel like home Watching the embers turn from red to black There is no way to take it back. The TV flickers with a static screen Broadcasting places we have never been. [Chorus] Burn it down, let the velvet melt Forget the way you ever felt It’s just a mark, a scar, a stain A little fire to kill the pain. Drifting in the smoke rings now. [Verse 2] You left your keys inside the porcelain bowl And took a little piece of my self-control The fabric is singed, the edges are frayed Is this the price that we both paid? I’m tracing circles around the hole Looking for a way to console. [Chorus] Burn it down, let the velvet melt Forget the way you ever felt It’s just a mark, a scar, a stain A little fire to kill the pain. [Bridge] [Chorus] It’s just a mark, a scar, a stain! A little fire to kill the pain! [Outro] [Production: Feedback loops and synthesizer drones continuing for a long fade out.] Just a little fire. Just a little fire. [Feedback oscillates until cut]
