Paper House

(Album: From Sheep To Wolves - 2017)

There's a fire burning inside my lungs
Wonder if it's only me or are we not having fun
I can keep a straight face when you deserve the blame
So I'll sit back and just watch this world burnt to flames

And away, away you go
Dancing into the smoke
Dancing into the smoke
And I'm left inside of this
Burning home

Do you really see me
Or am I just a ghost in the mirror
Transparency ain't always what it seems
And darling, I promise I won't ever leave

Well I guess my only purpose
Was to rid you of a guilty feeling inside your chest
My work here is done
You're free to run

And away, away you go
Dancing into the smoke
Dancing into the smoke

And I'm left inside of this
I'm left inside of this
I'm left inside of this

There's a side of me
I don't believe you've ever seen
And as you walk past gravestones inside your head
Well, you know where to find me

So go ahead and place your bets
Raise the stakes and double down on regrets
You know the house always wins
Here in my city of sin, I'll tell your next of kin:
"Sorry for your loss"

We set the fire and then we run
I'm waging wars in my head and it's just for fun
You were the lighthouse I never could see
So I sunk this ship beneath

Do you really see me
Or am I just a ghost in the mirror
Transparency ain't always what it seems
And darling, I promise I won't ever leave
Set a fire in a paper house
And expect it to not burn down
Don't dare, don't dare tell me that I'm in the red
When your hands match the very same color as your intent
Match the very same color as your intent
Match the very same color as your intent

Set a fire in a paper house
And expect it to not burn down
I tried to find you but you're already gone
I watched the vultures sing along to your songs
To your songs
