I didn`t build this place I didn`t get to pick where the trees were planted and the bricks were paved I didn`t sink the post or hang the wire around this hell I`m in And there`s no escape and nothing`s safe When you`re a prisoner to everything
I couldn`t run away from my reflection Smoke and mirrors in both directions Empty memories on every wall Burn the hurt to the ground just take it all I poured the gas, I lit the match Didn`t grab a damn thing on my way out But I stopped and watched as the flames grew higher To my house on fire
I still replay those words Only ten years old and hate is what I heard From that loving church 'And there`s no salvation on the road you`re takin` ' 'And a kid like you ain`t worth saving'
I couldn`t run away from my reflection Smoke and mirrors in both directions Empty memories on every wall Burn the hurt to the ground just take it all I poured the gas, I lit the match Didn`t grab a damn thing on my way out But I stopped and watched as the flames grew higher To my house on fire
Too fragile to be strong And so afraid to be wrong
Oooaaaah woooaah
I couldn`t run away from my reflection Smoke and mirrors in both directions Empty memories on every wall Burn the hurt to the ground just take it all I poured the gas, I lit the match Didn`t grab a damn thing on my way out But I stopped and watched as the flames grew higher, higher, higher To my house on fire Fire (fire) Fire (fire) Fire
