Lyrics

I am in third person watching myself survive
I was a ghost
I was a ghost
I could hear my better self in the room next door
Held on a hope
'Til the hinges broke
I couldn't say
That I wouldn't miss the sting
When every flame
Felt a familiar thing
Though I always forgave
Tethered to the blame
With smoke crawling under the frame
In this home I was contained
No lock but still I stayed
And dreamed of a secret place
With a window to a fire escape
Fire escape
I had to put down the part of me that needed you
I was afraid
It couldn't be saved
I learned to breathe in the words that had burned in my brain
How I'd tolerate
When I needed change
I couldn't say
That I wouldn't miss the sting
When every flame
Felt a familiar thing
Though I always forgave
Tethered to the blame
With smoke crawling under the frame
In this home I was contained
No lock but still I stayed
And dreamed of a secret place
With a window to a fire escape
A fire escape
Fire, move and grow
Illuminate which way to go
A staircase to a place
Promise me I can feel safe
Though I always forgave
Tethered to the blame
With smoke crawling under the frame
In this home I was contained
No lock but still I stayed
And dreamed of a secret place
With a window to a fire escape
