The handle on this door takes

Special touch

The locks and bolts have all been

Rusted shut

The walls inside hold

Secrets we forgot

And each of these stairs is

A moment that we lost

Under scarlet skies

This house is burning



Chorus

Maybe the world will fall apart

Under the weight of broken hearts

Try and we try and we try to survive

With all of the memories that we saved

‘Till we find a resting place



(Resting place)



The banister is stained with 

Bitter oil

And the garden is bathed in

Rancid soil

We fake a smile

Drink for a while

To get through one more day

And tell ourselves we made the

Choice to stay

In front of honest eyes

This house is burning



Chorus



We gave our lives 

To build this home

But its heart was never shone

Now it's buried under houses

Burning, burning



Chorus

(Resting place)
