Civil Twilight - Fire Escape lyrics

rate me

We are the desperate ones

Looking for the mark

We are the lonely ones

Left out here in the dark

We bought our tickets but we

Don't have a seat

And now we're just slaves to the beat

We are the tired ones

Tired of too much sleep

Tired of searching for

Two words we can't repeat

Don't mean to scare you but it's

Getting too warm and I

Think I'm gonna move to the door

We are burning

This is real

We're on fire but

We can't feel a thing

We were promised

More than we could take

Everybody out

It's a fire escape

Gather round

My friends

Let's try not to pretend

There is a war between

The cold out there

And the fire within

I know that we're alive

I know that we can dive

Right into the thick of it

We are burning

This is real

We're on fire but

We can't feel a thing

We were promised

More than we could take

Everybody out

It's a fire escape

I don't want to fill my body

With drugs I can't even name

I'm tired of feeling the same

I want to feel something

We are burning

This is real

We're on fire but

Don't you feel

We were made to

Be more than just awake

Everybody out it's a fire escape

We are burning

This is real

We're on fire but

We can't feel a thing

We were promised

More than we could take

Everybody out

It's a fire escape
