Fire Escape - Civil Twilight, School of Seven Bells

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 the words we can’t repeat

Don’t mean to scare you but it’s getting too warm

And I think I’ma to 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, 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
