The Fire

(album: Good Ribbons - 2021)

The fire in the kitchen
Grows from stove to the cabinet
If it's a dream then I'm having it
Because I'm tired, am I sleeping?
Or does my house have a dragon in it?

It's all in your head
All in your head
You sprawl in your bed and you
Wait to be dead

Just fall asleep, leave all to me
I'll burn her apartment down with yours
Incinerate her happy little dresser drawers
Just fall asleep, yeah, to dream

Of wires in the fusebox
Slowly melting green brown yellow white
The basement's black with smoke tonight
And the sirens should be clanging
By now, but I don't want a thousand dollar taxi ride
And it wouldn't even matter any if I died

And it's all in your head
All in your head
You sprawl in your bed and you
Wait to be dead

Just fall asleep, leave all to me
I'll burn her apartment down with yours
Incinerate her happy little dresser drawers
Make her crawl around on her hardwood floors
While thick smoke pours underneath her doors
She wronged you, now she'll become fondue
Yeah, 'cause falling in love is hard enough

So just fall asleep, leave all to me
You fall asleep, leave all to me
I'll burn her apartment down with yours
Incinerate her happy little dresser drawers
Just fall asleep, yeah, to dream
