After the Fire - Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness, Andrew McMahon

Why dream?

We’re breaking out of this machine

Lets bathe the walls in gasoline

and watch the fires go

We’ll burn this house

We’ll raze the fence that keeps us in

The cabinets and the medicine

Beds like box cars in a row

And when the wave comes sweeping

The cold blood sleeping in your veins

Your veins

After the fire

The sun comes crashing

Through a could so black and full of rain

Of rain

After the fire

I swear one day

You will forget them locking us away

Away

After the fire

Locked in

The days will end as the begin

With yellow moonlight on your skin

This madhouse, it’s no home

Let’s go home

Get the matches

Cut the phone

And when the wave comes sweeping

The cold blood sleeping in your veins

Your veins

After the fire

The sun comes crashing

Through a could so black and full of rain

Of rain

After the fire

I swear one day

You will forget them locking us away

Away

After the fire

We were dancing with the ashes falling

We were singing by the open flame

Let it burn

Tomorrow is another day

We were dancing with the ashes falling

We were singing by the open flame

Let it burn

Tomorrow is another day

When the wave comes sweeping

The cold blood sleeping in your veins

Your veins

After the fire

The sun came crashing

Through a could so black and full of rain

Of rain

After the fire

I swear one day

We will forget them locking us away

Away

After the fire

We will forget them locking us away

Away

After the fire
