There’s a fire burning inside my lungs Wonder if it’s only me or are we not having fun I can keep a straight face when you deserve the blame So I’ll sit back and just watch this world burnt to flames
And away, away you go Dancing into the smoke Dancing into the smoke And I’m left inside of this Burning home
Do you really see me Or am I just a ghost in the mirror Transparency ain’t always what it seems And darling, I promise I won’t ever leave
Well I guess my only purpose Was to rid you of a guilty feeling inside your chest My work here is done You’re free to run
And away, away you go Dancing into the smoke Dancing into the smoke
And I’m left inside of this I’m left inside of this I’m left inside of this
There’s a side of me I don’t believe you’ve ever seen And as you walk past gravestones inside your head Well, you know where to find me
So go ahead and place your bets Raise the stakes and double down on regrets You know the house always wins Here in my city of sin, I’ll tell your next of kin: “Sorry for your loss”
We set the fire and then we run I’m waging wars in my head and it’s just for fun You were the lighthouse I never could see So I sunk this ship beneath
Do you really see me Or am I just a ghost in the mirror Transparency ain’t always what it seems And darling, I promise I won’t ever leave Set a fire in a paper house And expect it to not burn down Don’t dare, don’t dare tell me that I’m in the red When your hands match the very same color as your intent Match the very same color as your intent Match the very same color as your intent
Set a fire in a paper house And expect it to not burn down I tried to find you but you’re already gone I watched the vultures sing along to your songs To your songs
