Burning House

My father left at nine years old

And mama stayed out in the cold

I made a promise I would never be them

But here I am inside this place

Suffocated by your face

I choose to stay cuz I’m too scared of leaving

So you’re smashing frames to make me hurt

And saying things that I don’t deserve

I sit there and take it, just like you know I would

Cuz the sound of screams are easier

Than just my thoughts with no one here

But it’s too late, but it’s too late

Nothing works

Now I swear we’ll never make it out alive

Cuz we’re tied up in this burning house

Tied up in this burning house

Tried to save us but you watched us die

Now we’re locked inside this burning house

You won’t ever let me out

I see them as they move their mouths

Saying they’re so happy now

Telling me I’m lucky that I have you

As you pour my drink to shut me up

Pretending this is fucking love

And I just nod my head like I’m supposed to (is that you want?)

But behind closed doors we’re in a war

I don’t know what I did this for

But it’s too late, but it’s too late

Nothing works

Now I swear we’ll never make it out alive

Cuz we’re tied up in this burning house

Tied up in this burning house

Tried to save us but you watched us die

Now we’re locked inside this burning house

You won’t ever let me out

Why you gotta be so cruel

Playing in a game to lose

I did everything for you

It’s all your fault, it’s all your fault (bitch)

Why you gotta be so cruel

Playing in a game to lose

I did everything for you

I hope you suffer

Now I swear we’ll never make it out alive

Cuz we’re tied up in this burning house

Tied up in this burning house

Tried to save us but you watched us die

Now we’re locked inside this burning house

You won’t ever let me out

Burn it to the ground, burn it to the ground

Listen to the fire, revel in the sound

Burn it to the ground, ground, ground

Locked inside this burning house

Burn it to the ground, burn it to the ground

Listen to the fire, revel in the sound

Burn it to the ground, ground, ground

You won’t ever let us out
