Rise up from the ashes

She said, it's killing me to see you live your life
A suicidal circus
No red lights, you live without a purpose
You camouflage your fear with rings of smoke
behind your grand facade
how many more miles will it take until you
realize the race is lost

How do we begin again
And rise up from the ashes
Of a house thats been burned down

I'd like to get into my car
and drive away from all of this
But there is no use running
No, I can't hide from myself
In the rear view mirror
I caught a glimpse of who I was
I didn't like what I'd seen
Eyes as cold and empty as a soul without His peace

How do we begin again
And rise up from the ashes
Of a house that's been burned down
And tell me how we're gonna forget all of this
Put away our feelings and start all over again
This house has been burned down

When trust is what you base your love on
What is left when thrust is gone
With my own hands I have set fire to this house, my love
The same lips I expressed my love with now are calling out to you
Asking for a second chance
She said, tonight forgiveness comes

New we can begin again
And rise up from the ashes
Of a house that's been burned down
That's been burned down
Although we may never forget all of this
We'll put away our feelings and start all over again
This house has been burned down
