Lyrics

House of Coals

I think the world was so much colder when you lived
I think I felt it catch on fire
And now it's raining acid into my eyes
Are you inspired

I've seen clouds cover brilliant shades of blue
And you can't fix the change the change of light
Never have I seen such grey in black and white
And it's not just the color in my eyes

I think you're better off to run when they say hide
They're trailing up behind your face
You light a match and watch your fears become their flames
You're burning shame
But it's better than living afraid

And I've seen birds fly without a song
And fall - watched the summer fade beneath my feet
Never have I felt such heartbreak in it all
But you've become the fragile in me

And no, the ashes aren't frozen yet
No, it's not like they were meant to be
No, I haven't gone home quite yet
You were meant to me
And you were meant to sleep alone

So sleep, and hush now
In your house of coals
In your house so cold
Sleep in your lonely dreams
Was it a lonely keep
Are you alone with me
