Lyrics

[Verse 1] Why do you become defensive every last time I attack? There will be interrogations 'til we know how the knives got in my back 'Cause I'd love to take it easy, that's a hard way to go For when a grip is lost or found on things, you'll be the first to know [Chorus] If I burn to the ground or rise up from the flames It won't be long before I know you feel the same If my voice sounds scared and frozen, it's because I'm afraid and cold When I am you'll always be the first to know [Verse 2] You begin to build religion 'round the acts of day-to-day Then curse when the laws are broken or too many people showed up to pray And it's a clumsy contradiction to protect or let it show And any way it all pans out, you'll be the first to know [Chorus] If I burn to the ground or rise up from the flames It won't be long before I know you feel the same If my voice sounds scared and frozen, it's because I'm afraid and cold When I am you'll always be the first to know [Instrumental] [Chorus] If I burn to the ground or rise up from the flames It won't be long before I know you feel the same If my voice sounds scared and frozen, it's because I'm afraid and cold When I am you'll always be the first to know When I am you'll always be the first to know
