about

Written at the end of high school, this song describes a miserable experience I had at a cold, (ice) cold house party.

lyrics

Don't want you to fight all night?
I can love you when the morning comes
We're sitting by the fire light
And I let it all just come undone
Don't you know what feeling is?
You've never been so underground
I don't feel well, I'm going in
I can love you when the moon goes down

I'm freezing and I'm dead inside
I'm lying on this dirty couch
Just try and let the pain subside
All these words are filling up my mouth
The air is cold, the stars are bright
It's empty and it constantly rings
Every day and every night
We'll stare at the stars and we'll sing

Ice cold house fire
Reaching through wires
Watch the ceiling
Curb this feeling

Fading right before my eyes
I feel my temples start to ache
I couldn't hide it if I tried
I know that I am bound to break
I need another glass of wine
Everybody's saying the same thing
That every day and every night
We'll take to the sky and we'll sing

Ice cold house fire
Reaching through wires
Watch the ceiling
Curb this feeling
