Pyre and Paint

Intro

Oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Chorus

Bury the match and let the fever rise

We find our truth in all the hollow lies

This city burns while we just watch the fire

Build a tower high then feed it to the pyre

I see the signal blowing in the gale

Turn the lock before the shadows turn us pale

Verse 1

Watch the white paint flake away

Beneath a bruised and sunless sky

I spent a lifetime looking for the ghost

That stays beside me when I need it most

Static hissing from the black screen

Nothing feels as loud as what we leave unseen

Chorus

Bury the match and let the fever rise

We find our truth in all the hollow lies

This city burns while we just watch the fire

Build a tower high then feed it to the pyre

I see the signal blowing in the gale

Turn the lock before the shadows turn us pale

Bridge

Cut the rope

Kill the hope

Fix the broken wire

Heard you screaming at the ledge

Dancing on the razor's edge

Is there any light left for us now

Verse 2

Rusted hinges on the gate

Keeping out the bitter fate

Your father left his debt upon the wall

Waiting for the lucky man to take the fall

I hear the sirens hum a tune

Beneath the silver sliver of the winter moon

Chorus

Bury the match and let the fever rise

We find our truth in all the hollow lies

This city burns while we just watch the fire

Build a tower high then feed it to the pyre

I see the signal blowing in the gale

Turn the lock before the shadows turn us pale

Chorus

Bury the match and let the fever rise

We find our truth in all the hollow lies

This city burns while we just watch the fire

Build a tower high then feed it to the pyre

I see the signal blowing in the gale

Turn the lock before the shadows turn us pale
