Fire Escape Lyrics by The Horrors

V

2017

[Verse 1]
[?]
[?]
The people that you see
Are drifting by without a word
Face alone
All life escapes
To our own devices
Left uneven while you sleep to waste

[Chorus]
You're scared to even try
Get up and start again
And following the sky
You'll watch the season end
Still you let the fire escape

[Verse 2]
And life's a blade
A whipping line
The people that you see
Are drifting out through tired eyes
All dreams [?]
All dreams replaced
Every fantasy is peaceful
Even sleeping in the wild

[Chorus]
You're scared to even try
Get up and start again
And when you look within
You'll watch the season end
Still you let the fire escape

[Refrain]
Still you let the fire escape
Still you let the fire escape
Still you let the fire escape
Still you let the fire escape
Still you let the fire escape
