As regret's eternal sigh empties my chest, it sets my body on fire
But it isn't enough to keep ourselves warm
And my guilt has been too friendly
Fate has placed me in a never ending calm
But I'm slowly beginning to root for the storm
Brace yourself and give in
Let it swallow you whole
The walls are crumbling down
But this house is still our home
But if we hold very still
And try to not make a sound
In the empty space, you'll see us
In the phosphenes that are flickering
And dancing in our eyes
In the dying flames, you'll see us
Fateful nights are marred by those unfaithful
Trust me, I know, I know that you won't
Hold on to the burning floorboards keeping us afloat
At least we had a choice if we'll scorch or soak
Brace yourself and give in
Let it swallow you whole
I've built this house by your side
But you're living on your own
But if we hold very still
And try to not make a sound
In the empty space, you'll see us
In the phosphenes that are flickering
And dancing in our eyes
In the dying flames, you'll see us
We are a burning house
Engulfed in secrets that I'll keep along with your blouse
We'll set this place ablaze as quickly as we'll douse
The ruins with all of the tears your eyes allow
Your eyes allow
I know you're wearing thin
The scars you kept inside have surfaced in your skin
All empty beds are better than my favorite sin
We are a burning house I know I'd still come in
I'd still come in
Brace yourself and give in
Let it swallow you whole
Brace yourself and give in
Let it swallow you whole
But if we hold very still
And try to not make a sound
In the empty space, you'll see us
In the phosphenes that are flickering and dancing in our eyes
In the dying flames, you'll see us
But if we hold very still
And try to not make a sound
In the empty space, you'll see us
And in the phosphenes that are flickering and dancing in our eyes
In the dying flames, you'll see us
