Assemblage 23
House On Fire
Sifting through the ashes
With unsteady hands Searching for the remnants
Of a broken man
A history of hollow lives
And low ideals
A backlog of wrongdoing
We never conceal
I rise to my feet
And walk away from the dross Towards the doorway Of our mutual and harrowing loss
The only way I know To shake myself of this curse Is to bring myself to something That is measurably worse
CHORUS
I sought refuge in a house on fire
I took shelter in a wall of flame
I built a prison in my own subconscious
There's nothing else left
Nothing else left to blame. Letras de canciones
Emerging from the wreckage Of a life that once was
Confounded by the damage My own psyche does
I bear the scars Of an insufferable will
And the tyrannical reign it threatens to instill
Some seek control
By grabbing hold of their lives
In a futile attempt To help themselves survive
I dig myself
Into a much deeper hole
Running from a fate
That I can never control
(Chorus)
I woke up
In a column of ash
While the world came down In a horrible crash
I was naive For ever wanting this much Using self-deception
As my only crutch
Footsteps diverge
From the path they once walked
Words are eclipsed By the language they talked
Actions betrayed
By promises broken
Flames consume intentions
Best left unspoken (Chorus)
