two years ago today
my house was filled with flames
i lost a family fortune and
the house where i was raised
i only made this phonograph
to remind you i'm ashamed
you can't expect to smell your
family burn and ever feel the same
i was lost and i have been ever since
around my heart i built a barbed wire fence
i was lost ever since the day i left
this tragedy i kept help me lose
my home my heart and all my friends
its the call you never wanna take
it the tears that never came
and so i built a wall inside myself
to hide my loneliness and shame
i only wish i could have been there
when her dress was set ablaze
i could've ran and brought the water back
and pulled her from the flames unscathed
i was lost and i have been ever since
around my heart i built a barbed wire fence
i was lost ever since the day i left
this tragedy i kept help me lose
my home my head and all my friends
