A Place to Bury Strangers - Don't Burn the Fires lyrics

rate me

Running away, I knew I was wrong

Just tried to fit in but I didn’t belong

Wearing their clothes, playing their games

Being a part of that urban decay

Don’t burn the fires, never coming home

Don’t burn the fires, never coming home

When the morning sky was cold and grey

I could hear the whispers of my own mistakes

Those warning eyes, that final touch

No one seemed to care that much

Don’t burn the fires, I’m never coming home

Don’t burn the fires, never coming home

And when I’d reached my destination

I thought someday I might return

‘Cause deep inside was the need

To feel the home fires burn

A faltering voice merely whispered my name

As if we’d never expected to hear it again

And my heart grew cold to that indifferent sound

As I slowly laid the receiver down

Don’t burn the fires, don’t burn the fires

Don’t burn the fires, I’m never coming home

Don’t burn the fires, don’t burn the fires

Don’t burn the fires, I’m never coming home
