HOUSE FIRE Verse 1 The sun’s been gone since that day, And I still wake up in the wreckage. Tea cold, curtains half-drawn, Another morning learning how to live without a weapon. Everybody says I look healthier now, Like survival’s supposed to glow. But nobody talks about the silence When the chaos doesn’t live in your bones anymore. I still reach for you in empty pockets, Still hear your name inside the sink. Funny how the thing that almost killed me Still feels like the only thing that ever understood me. ⸻ Pre-Chorus And I hate the way I romanticize The ruin that almost buried me alive— ⸻ Chorus You left fingerprints inside my veins, Now sobriety just feels like rain On a house fire, after everything burned down. You were poison dressed like paradise, A slow-motion suicide I still dream about. And I miss the flames, miss the flames, Even with the ashes in my mouth— In the ruins of my house fire. House fire… ⸻ Verse 2 I don’t miss the bathroom floors, Or the look in my father’s eyes. Don’t miss lying through my teeth While my whole life slowly capsized. I miss the false invincibility, The cheap halo, the borrowed light. How you turned my shaking hands Into something fearless for a night. Now every feeling hits unfiltered, Sharp enough to cut right through. Turns out numbness has withdrawals too, And silence can taste just like you. ⸻ Pre-Chorus And I know loving you was madness, But grief still wears your perfume sometimes— ⸻ Chorus You left fingerprints inside my veins, Now sobriety just feels like rain On a house fire, after everything burned down. You were poison dressed like paradise, A slow-motion suicide I still dream about. And I miss the flames, miss the flames, Even with the ashes in my mouth— In the ruins of my house fire. House fire… ⸻ Bridge Maybe that’s the cruelest part: You don’t just mourn the drug— You mourn the person you were on it. The girl who could talk to strangers, Dance like the world was ending, Turn self-destruction into something beautiful. But she was disappearing too. Line by line. Vein by vein. Night by night. Flame by flame. ⸻ Final Chorus You left fingerprints inside my veins, Now sobriety just feels like rain On a house fire, after everything burned down. You were poison dressed like paradise, A slow-motion suicide I still dream about. And I miss the flames, miss the flames, Even with the ashes in my mouth— In the ruins of my house fire. House fire… ⸻ Outro The sun’s been gone since that day… But I’m still here In the ruins of my house fire.
