July fires grew dim
while you changed the locks on my home.
Now you won't let me in.
And I refused to turn away
as I watched the flames borne from within
slowly burn you away.

You left me with no place else to hide.
The tunnel we built started to crack
and bury me alive.
Please don't stand so close.
You've been watching me die day by day,
I'm done pretending that it's not your fault.

Another numb night in New Hamburg
wishing I had stuck through till the fall.
It's times like this I get the feeling
there's really nothing to get at all.
And you,
you say it's me.
And I
am shaking on the floor.
And I
wish I knew what I felt so sorry for.

July fires burn low.
It gets hard to live in a house
when there's nobody home.
And I stared you right in the eyes
as I dropped the match at my feet,
my own gentle suicide.

I hid between windows. You faded away.
It's a challenge to live in a tunnel when the world's up in flames.
And no, I can't just leave.
I've been watching you die day by day
while the exact same is happening to me.

Another numb night on my cloud
wishing I had stuck through till the fall.
It's times like this I get the feeling
of wanting to feel nothing at all.
And me,
I say it's you.
And you
are what I wish I was living for.
And you,
you were all I wanted, nothing more.

Another numb night in New Hamburg // Another numb night on my cloud
wishing I had stuck through till the fall.
It's times like this I get the feeling
there's really nothing to get at all. // of wanting to feel nothing at all.
And you, // And me,
you say it's me. // I say it's you.
And I // And you
am shaking on the floor. // are what I wish I was living for.
And I // And you,
wish I knew what I felt so sorry for. // you were all I wanted, nothing more.
