lyrics

when the house is full of water
maybe we can save us
but when the house is on fire
we just have to get out

eight cups broken in pieces
there’s nothing left to hold us
stagnant waters pour from your mouth
somehow you’re holding me under

this house is no longer home
if i can’t close the door and be alone

three swords pierce my heart
i can’t wait to grieve you
i should have known right from the start
i’d be the one to leave you

yet you bring kindling inside
then act surprised at a house fire
if i have to burn
every good memory just to survive
then i can’t take you with me

this house is no longer home
if i can’t close the door and be alone

1 - 2 - 3

when the house is on fire
at least let us keep ourselves warm

when you walk through the fire
all your can bring is yourself
