We're About 9: Burned

i dream, big dreams
cause that's what dreamers do
i fight, the fights
that i know i will lose
i build, a home
i became it's walls, i became it's doors
now i'm afraid, i might become
exactly what i built before

i'm a house on fire
with a hole in the outside
just big enough so that i can breath
and the firefighters try to save me
i tell them i'm just choking
they drive away angry
and i run away - burned

if i say it's time to go have
what i mean is that
i've got to go
i dream big dreams
i fill in the gaps with the world i know
i still remember Florence
waving goodbye like i would see her tomorrow
i finally know what she went through
i guess she was burning, too

i'm a house on fire
with a hole in the outside
just big enough so that i can breath
and the firefighters try to save me
i tell them i'm just choking
they drive away angry
and i run away - burned


so i stalk myself in a corner
the flames crackle and spit at me
and say you better do something important with your time
you better do something important with your time
you better do something important with your time
you better do something important with your time
you better do something important with your time
you better do something, you better do something
you better do something important with your time
cause you're better of burned than wasted

i'm a house on fire
with a hole in the outside
just big enough so that i can breath
and the firefighters try to save me
i tell them i'm just choking
they drive away angry
and i run away - burned


i dream, big dreams
cause that's what dreamers do
i fight, the fights
that i know i will lose
i build, a home
i became it's walls, i became it's doors
now i'm afraid, i might become
exactly what i built before
