The Ashes

There's a fire in this house And there's no one left to notice with the breath to put it out There's a weakness in these walls And the truth hides in the echoes and the whispers in the halls Saying all we've ever known we learned here There's a smoke that fills our lungs And we suffer in the silence wondering why we didn't run Feel the cracks let out the heat Stealing all the oxygen forbidding us to speak Still all we've ever known we learned here And all we thought was home will burn here But maybe in the ashes we will find the meaning And maybe as they scatter they'll lead us to the healing Waking in a fever the daylight is deceiving And darling though you woke me hard we'd been oversleeping Everything thats burning... was everything to us There's a fire you tried to hide But you let it in our home You tainted everything inside Though the mess cannot be seen I'm still standing in the wreckage I'm still longing for a piece of All we've ever known and learnt here 'Cause all we thought was home will burn here But maybe in the ashes we will find the meaning And maybe as they scatter they'll lead us to the healing Waking in a fever the daylight is deceiving And darlin though you woke me hard we'd been oversleeping But I don't think I'm learning And I don't think we change Now we know that wisdom never really came with age And everytime I think that maybe we could put it out Everytime I try to fight the fire in this house Well my mind paints a picture 'cause my minds never free My mind shows the things that my eyes weren't supposed to see There's a fire in this house And there's no one left to notice with the breath to put it out
