[Intro: Olli Appleyard]
Standing face to face
The world above
With a warrant to
Save themselves
Chasing stars
When all you do is play the part
[Verse 1: Olli Appleyard]
No room for wasting time
The plastic artists
The ladder climb
Monthly flavour I'd deny
Exploitive cherry is the subtle scum silent choice
[Pre-Chorus: Olli Appleyard, George Holding, both]
Lie to make it fair
Would they even care?
If I saw through my naivety
This building's burning, yet they just stand there
So calculated, so precise
Stop downplaying my pain
[Chorus: Olli Appleyard, George Holding, both]
House burnt down, now we're screaming
(Criminals)
Straight criminals
"Lying never felt this good"
It's gonе way too far
[Verse 2: Olli Appleyard, George Holding, both]
Say it so straight faced (Straight faced)
As I'm burning
Myself to dеath in your hollow morgue
But never touched the art you proudly put on display
[Chorus: Olli Appleyard, George Holding, both]
House burnt down, now we're screaming
(Criminals)
Straight criminals
Lying never felt this good
House burnt down, now we're screaming
Say something convincing
Then take from me (Me)
"Lying never felt so good", like
(Criminals)
Straight criminals
[Bridge: Olli Appleyard]
Flash (Flash)
Back (Back)
Repeat the feeling
Tongue (Tongue)
Tied (Tied)
By my own regret
Flash back to
The both of us
With curtains closed
I think it's best we let it go
[Pre-Chorus: Olli Appleyard, George Holding]
House burnt down, now we're screaming
(Say something, say something)
"Lying never felt this good"
(Say something, say something)
House burnt down, now we're screaming
(Say something, say something)
"Lying never felt this good"
It's gone way too
[Chorus: Olli Appleyard, George Holding, both]
(Far)
House burnt down, now we're screaming
(Say something, say something)
"Lying never felt this good"
(Say something, say something)
House burnt down now we're screaming
(Criminals)
Straight criminals
"Lying never felt this good"
House burnt down, now we're screaming
Say something convincing
(I'll be okay) Then take from me
"Lying never felt this good"
(Criminals) Straight
(Criminals) Straight criminals
(Woo!)
