House on Fire Lyrics by Elliot Root

The Uncanny Valley

2021

[Verse 1]
I'm waking up to the sound of footsteps
Running around, pacing the floor
[?]
She owns the key, can't you see?
Makes it easy
She understands, the house is on fire
And I am alive
[Chorus]
Lets steal the staircase, so we can touch the sky
I'll build a temple, infinite eye for eye
My feet are burning, walking on hallowed ground
We have AC, but the house is on fire now
The house is, the house is, the house is on fire now
The house is, the house is, the house is on fire now
The house is, the house is, the house is on fire now
The house is, the house is, the house is on fire now
[Verse 2]
I am starting to see
Baby, belief is a thief without action
Universal distraction, cutting our ties
Between party lines
And so if ones and zeros define us
Then I hope they remind us
That the headlines are all minus
All that is we
And the hope that is she
[Chorus]
Lets steal the staircase, so we can touch the sky
I'll build a temple, infinite eye for eye
My feet are burning, walking on hallowed ground
We have AC, but the house is on fire now
The house is, the house is, the house is on fire now
The house is, the house is, the house is on fire now
The house is, the house is, the house is on fire now
The house is, the house is, the house is on fire now
[Bridge]
At least the [?] are here
[?] everything so clear
I bother down below
[?] your ashes look like snow
[Chorus]
Lets steal the staircase, so we can touch the sky
I'll build a temple, infinite eye for eye
My feet are burning, walking on hallowed ground
We have AC, but the house is on fire now
The house is, the house is, the house is on fire now
The house is, the house is, the house is on fire now
The house is, the house is, the house is on fire now
The house is, the house is, the house is on fire now
