lyrics

House Down

You come with your magic
You come with your cannons shining
You burn my house down
You turn it inside out
Look, these are my ashes
What a pitiful sight (for sore eyes)
You take my grand designs
And burn them down, down, down

Your wisdom is weak --- your power, diluted. Example: Maelstrom, squatting down the road
You seem to miss the bigger picture. Your planning department, they took my home

Arise Madame Speaker.
I had a dream.
I had this dream.
I’d just turned twenty-three,
The whole world in front of me,
But I’d lost my way.

So I drank a lot of drink, I wrote a letter --- sent it off
And I got on my moral high horse ---
This is my doorstep --- don’t darken my door.

I’m going to dig division ditch, I’ll teach my town new songs to sing by shaking the tree from within
And while all this is just a rant, I’m taking measures where I can because what the system is I am

Until you come with you magic
You come with your war engine
You burn my house down
You turn me inside out
Look, these are my ashes
What a pitiful sight (for sore eyes)
You take my grand designs
And tear them down, down, down

Your wisdom is weak --- your power, diluted. Example: Maelstrom, squatting down the road
You seem to miss the bigger picture. Your planning department, they took my home

Arise Madame Speaker.
I had a dream.
I had this dream.
I’d just turned twenty-three,
The whole world in front of me,
But I’d lost my way.

So I drank a lot of drink, I wrote a letter --- sent it off
And I put on my angry warhead ---
This is my doorstep --- don’t darken my door.
