It was the last time
I swore to your face
Poor folk get it tough anyway
All feather no meat around here
Lost in a glass house
No doors to get my ass out
You've shown me the way
To get past the smoke and mirrors
I'm gonna build me a fire
To forget who you are
A derailed train and a car wreck
I won't be debris anymore
Every street every bed every hole in the wall
Nothing will go un-burned
I was in love with a liar
So I'm gonna build me a fire
I feel a loss of posture
When the cost of hurt don't go further
Than the distance between
my heart and my eyes
Gather the fuel and oxygen
These things I hold they need to go
I'll be the all that remains
Let all that weight just ash away and
I'm gonna build me a fire
To forget who you are
A derailed train and a car wreck
I won’t be the debris anymore
Every street every bed every hole in the wall
Nothing will go un-burned
I was in love with a liar
So I'm gonna build me a fire
In the light
Be the one who survived
In the night
Be a burden slain
No I won't be shy
No won't be a coward
I'll be a flower
Be the ever blooming flame
I'm gonna build me a fire
To forget who you are
A derailed train and a car wreck
I won't be the debris anymore
Every street every bed every hole in the wall
Nothing will go un-burned
I was in love with a liar
So I'm gonna build me a fire
Gonna build me a fire
