Lyrics Fire Broke The Windows - Daniel Striped Tiger

Fire Broke The Windows

Your piled clothes were left in the basement
You’re holding breath — I can’t see where your face went
These cities grew up like vines on a tree-
With water, and lights, and history
Lost both hands in a turret-gun fight
Saw the ghosts for years every night
(These days, you must be careful-
This one time I looked up
And saw glass raining down
From a fire that broke the windows out
Another time, it was fire being born out of glass.)
And at the same speed, you nearly lost yourself
And at the same peak, you really lost yourself
Our bad vibes drowned in a washdown
Our anger left us deaf and begging at a doorstep
