Lyrics Burning House - Nico Collins

My father left at 9 years old
My mama stayed out in the cold
I made a promise I would never be them
But here I am inside this place
Suffocated by your face
I choose to stay cuz I'm too scared of leaving
So you're smashing frames to make me hurt
And saying things I don't deserve
I sit there and take it, just like you know I would
Cuz the sound of screams are easier
Than just my thoughts with no one here
But it's too late, but it's too late
Nothing works
Now I swear we'll never make it out alive
Cuz we're tied up in this burning house
Tied up in this burning house
Tried to save us but you watched us die
Now we're locked inside this burning house
You won't ever let me out
I see them as they move their mouths
Saying they're so happy now
Telling me I'm lucky that I have you
As you pour my drink to shut me up
Pretending this is fucking love
And I just nod my head like I'm supposed to
(Is that what you want?)
But behind closed doors we're in a war
I don't know what I did this for
But it's too late, but it's too late
Nothing works
Now I swear we'll never make it out alive
Cuz we're tied up in this burning house
Tied up in this burning house
Tried to save us but you watched us die
Now we're locked inside this burning house
You won't ever let me out
Why you gotta be so cruel?
Playing in the game to lose
I did everything for you
It's all your fault
It's all your fault, bitch
Why you gotta be so cruel
Playing in the game to lose
I did everything for you
I hope you suffer
Now I swear we'll never make it out alive
Cuz we're tied up in this burning house
Tied up in this burning house
Tried to save us but you watched us die
Now we're locked inside this burning house
You won't ever let me out
Burn it to the ground, burn it to the ground
Listen to the fire, revel in the sound
Burn it to the ground, ground, ground
Locked inside this burning house
Burn it to the ground, burn it to the ground
Listen to the fire, revel in the sound
Burn it to the ground, ground, ground
You won't ever let us out
