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
