I burnt my house down the other day
You should've heard the sound it made
It was kind of symbolic in a way
It went "la la la la la la la la la ah"
There will come a day
When you have to pay to play
It's the price we all pay
At the beginning of the day
To play the same routine
To lean on nicotine
And the caffeine in our veins
Has become our saving grace
It's the things we all know
And the things that we don't
Like the silly conversations
And the witty anecdotes
There's nothing I can say
That you haven't heard before
Like the line I just said
And the ones that will come forth
(Yeah)
Burning bridges in a line
Picking fights with suicide
Going through the motions
Of what would be a happy life
I remember I prayed for something like this
But this is not what I envisioned
Test my love and test my patience
One of these days I'm gonna break
I'm not sad
(Das ton m'I)
