lyrics

A knock on my door late at night
I must leave my world out of sight

I’m trapped by the heat that surrounds me
And no drop of rain stands to dowse me

All the flames start to spread the same
A spark, and no one in its way

Afraid of the memory
afraid for the past
I know where you’re taking me
just leave me in ash

I know you’re not nervous
But you say that you are
Are you fibbing on purpose?
How’s it going so far?

This is no time to resurface
Every little old scar
This is the time to be human
Cause your house is on fire

A flicker in my curtains
Of orange so bright
There’s no time to sleep
And even less to be alive

There’s no time to gather up
The things that you love
It’s just another day
Only this time you run

Over the hillside
There’s water ashore
So head to the beach
If you’ve been there before

And count yourself lucky
that your love’s still alive
(improvised: there's some there that aren't
and their love is to die)

I know you’re not nervous
But you say that you are
Are you fibbing on purpose?
How’s it going so far?

This is no time to resurface
Every little old scar
This is the time to be human
Cause your house is on fire

by SNOWMINE

This is the first in a series of weekly album reviews published by Andrew Dubber. If you haven’t already caught it, please check out his introductory post.
