[Intro]
Well, I need this house
To stay burning
For a while

[Verse 1]
With the crackling walls
And the ceiling caving down
And toy with the thought
Of getting out

[Chorus]
Well, I need this house
To stay burning
For a while
Oh, just for a while

[Verse 2]
Well, I've cleansed my heart of any notion
This works out somehow
And tuned out any hope of some resolve
But I'll toy with the thought
Of settling down

[Chorus]
And I need this house
To stay burning
For a while
For a while
For a while
[Bridge]
It's gone, it's gone, it's gone

[Outro]
This house, this house had burnt
Burnt into the ground
This house burnt with me inside
Asleep in pain, alone
Smoke inside my lungs, lungs, lungs
