why dream
we're breaking out of this machine
we'll bathe the walls in gasoline
and watch the fires go
we'll burn this house
raise the fence that keeps us in
the cabinets and the medicine
beds like boxcars in a row
and when the wave comes sweeping
the cold blood's sleeping in your veins
your veins
after the fire
the sun comes crashing through
a cloud so black and full of rain
of rain
after the fire
i swear one day
you will forget them locking us away
away
after the fire
locked in
the days will end as they begin
with yellow moonlight on your skin
this madhouse it's no home
let's go home, get the matches, cut the phone
and when the wave comes sweeping
the cold blood's sleeping in your veins
your veins
after the fire
the sun comes crashing through
a cloud so black and full of rain
of rain
after the fire
i swear one day
you will forget them locking us away
away
after the fire
we were dancing with the ashes falling
we were singing by the open flame
let it burn
tomorrow is another day
we were dancing with the ashes falling
we were singing by the open flame
let it burn
let it burn
tomorrow is another day
the wave comes sweeping
the cold blood's sleeping in your veins
your veins
after the fire
the sun came crashing through a cloud so black and full of rain
of rain
after the fire
i swear one day you will forget them locking us away
away
after the fire
i swear one day you will forget them locking us away
away
after the fire
