Civil Twilight Fire Escape lyrics

We are the desperate ones, looking for the mark
We are the lonely ones left out here in the dark
We bought our tickets but we don't have a seat
And now we are just slaves to the beat

We are the tired ones, tired of too much sleep
Tired of searching for the words we can't repeat
I don't mean to scare you but it's getting too warm
And I think I'm gonna move to the door

We are burning, this is real
We're on fire but we can't feel a thing
We were promised more than we could take
Everybody out it's a fire escape

Oh oh oh oh

Gather 'round my friends, let's try not to pretend
There is a war between the cold out there
And the fire within
I know that we're alive, I know that we can dive
Right into the thick of it

We are burning, this is real

We're on fire but we can't feel a thing
We were promised more than we could take
Everybody out it's a fire escape

I don't wanna fill my body
With drugs I can't even name
I'm tired of feeling the same
I wanna feel something

We are burning, this is real
We're on fire don't you feel
We were made to be more than just awake
Everybody out it's a fire escape

We are burning, this is real
We're on fire but we can't feel a thing
We were promised more than we could take
Everybody out it's a fire escape

Oh oh oh oh
