Lyrics The House That Fire Built - Mae

The House That Fire Built

I think I saw the vision, I’d even call it a sign
I’ll now ignite the mission, yeah to fall in love, not fall in line
Still, something real was missing to mix with heat and light
A brand new fuel giving purpose to the ups and downs and wrongs and rights
When all the flames came rushing it was so beautiful
Still, I wanted something more to say as I spread this blaze
So I left that fire, and started a new one
(And then another one)
So do you think to give up could be better, or have you even tried?
The fire you have warmed up to is only gonna burn you up inside
When all the flames came rushing it was oh so beautiful
But I wanted something more to say when I spread this blaze
So I left that fire, and started a new one.
I started a new one
Soak the ground with gasoline
Drop the match and let the blaze infect us all
Seeing this fire burning out of control
I finally feel the warmth of the Everglow
Take a dream, light it up and watch it grow
A combustible explosion
Explode
Before you say that a part of you has died
Remember that the fire is on the inside
All you need is to open it up wide
Time for action, chain reaction
It’s time
I see the truth rising up in flames
Oh it burns away at the remains
And it’s strong enough to overtake the rain
Bright enough to see the light of day
When all the flames came rushing, well you know it was beautiful
But you’ve still got something more to say
For this world today I know that we could change
So let’s make a pact, to never hold it back
Won’t you take that fire with you and then start a new one?
Go ahead and then start a new one
Yeah!
We’ve started a new one
