about

"Rise and shine, sleepyhead"
You speak
And the rude light tumbles in with the words

I'm not meant for the sun
I mean, wasn't
I've gotta get out of this house

Cause if I tried to talk about it
Well I know that I would have already lost, whoa
I'd spin around until the room swims
But my lungs would fill with water 'fore we crossed
Oh, oh, oh, oh

I'm trying to burn down this house
Oh I wanna be your friend but you won't have it
And I don't wanna take the long way out
Out of this house, let's get out of this house

Acquiescent for six years
And not once
Did I not recoil at your touch

Lead these eyes into the kitchen
And scratch them out, oh mama
Spoon feed me a hundred faces' dim intent
But I'm thinkin'

That if I tried to talk about it
Well, I know that I'd disturb a brittle peace
Seems like you may have been here before
But you don't claim to recognize these haggard trees

I'm trying to burn down this house
Oh I wanna be your friend but you won't have it
And I don't wanna take the long way out
Out of this house, let's get out of this house

I'm trying to burn down this house
But you're not cooperating
You stand there with the can of gas
And I'm screaming that we're poor

Can't you hear me
Are you asleep?
Is this but repentant dreaming?

Oh if you won't
Then you won't, then you won't
Then you won't
