House On Fire

[Verse 1]
We were walking, softly talking
Belmont and Thirteenth
As the jets punched out a beating drum
Shook the earth and killed the silence
Couples ran down driveways in surprise
Children cried, animals howled, sirens screamed

[Verse 2]
Black smoke billowing, thick and salacious
From the cracks in your teeth
Chewing rags and spitting back into
A panicked camera crew, and through
The grainy screens of a million streets, where a canyon forms
And rips apart the young and old of every single color

[Bridge]
We never became who we wanted to be when we were younger, sucked into
A jet and spewed back out into circumstances
Out of our control and realization
His eyes are closed, head held low

We are close types, we are style scopes
Living inside a burning home
