Fire in the City

Airplanes flying overhead

While I toss and turn in bed

A life in disarrayCrumbling ground

Tumbling down

Run to the sound

Of a fire in the cityA sudden jolt, I'm wide awake

Bolting for the door I take

A couple things I thought were precious to meCrumbling ground

Tumbling down

Run to the sound

Of a fire in the cityAnd as I gather up my sins

The ashes, they roll in

My ascension has begunCrumbling ground

Tumbling down

Run to the sound

Of a fire in the cityAs the flames begin to rise

(Burning ground)

I see the life I left behind

(Don't turn around)Constellations in the sky

Constellations, the goodbye

I don't wanna goCrumbling ground

Tumbling down

Run to the sound

Of a fire in the city
