The House Is Burning

The house is burnin' and these are the fumes that I'm running on

Surviving purely from spite, til' I make the decision to shoot out the lights

Counting down the days of my life tryin' to find zero

But until that wonderful day comes I'll continue to live in this nightmare

I stopped fighting a long time ago cuz these demons don't fight fair

My way out is just right there, fully loaded, but I only need the one in the chamber end all this

At this point that I'm at it seems like the right thing and once the lighting is gone the flame will go out with the rest of this

There's no hope that remains, I should be going insane but I'm used to this

It no longer pains me to say that this is all the same

There's no rain that can put out this fire this house has been burnin' for a while

The facade of a fake smile I tried to keep up burned up in the fire

My web of lies burned up from the heat in these walls, my disguise is gone and at this point an ending is all I desire

There's some I've ben thinkin' about but one in particular I'm looking at

Straight down the barrel, just some inches away, a single hollow-tip can put all of this out

There's no method to this madness, no point in tryin' to figure this out

I'm the match that started this, the house is burnin' cuz me and at this point there's no other way out

This is it, this house will continue to burn so I've accepted my fate

Where there's nothin' left and nothin' to say I have a decision to make

I could end this now but I'll just wait til only ashes remain

Eventually my count will hit zero and the lights will go out

But until then, I guess I'll let the house continue to burn
