Board Up the House

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The streets have gone dark, they've been dark for days We board up the housem hide upstairs and wait, and wait Just outside we hear awful sounds Cower in bed and think of ourselves only [Chorus] The last lights are all fire We let the heat thrive [Verse 2] Panicked a week, starved just as long We're two signs of life, our doors are marked Desperate chants of "Help will come, help will come" Can't try to leave, help will come, finally [Chorus] The last lights are all fire Let the heat thrive Turn the seas sour Bleed the ground dry [Break] I won't wait, you'll give up with me [Outro] No one comes and we rot in bed No one comes and the boards stay up
