[Verse 1:]
Fragmented puzzle pieces lying dead, still on the floor
You can help me put them together, or we can just lie around some more

Slow burner
Slow burner

The rouch [sic] is full of holes, rotting mousetraps torn inside
The fridge hasn't been open since the fifth of last July

Slow burner
Slow burner

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
Your eyes are open, you're still staring at the screen
The front door is open, if only they heard you scream

The living room is the only thing you know
The same old TV channels sometimes cast an eerie glow

[Chorus:]
Burning us down
Burning us down
Burning us down
Burning us down
[Verse 2:]
Electric buzz coming up from the basement
A puff of smoke from the silvery encasement

Slow burner
Slow burner

The creaky wooden staircase is creaking a hell of a lot more now
The show is over, the house slowly takes a bow

Slow burner
Slow burner

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
Your face is rotten, that's okay, mine is too
The time for rebirth came all but too soon

The living room is all that we had
Life is so fleeting, an irreversible fad

[Chorus:]
Burning us down
Burning us down
Burning us down
Burning us down
