House On Fire

I receive love
But not from home
I receive hatred
But not from the world
I was born in a burning house
And they never taught me to get out
My whole house
My whole life
Was always on fire
And so I learned to crush my hope
And bury my desires
For it's all forbidden
My desires are all forbidden
Because I was never admired
Oh I was born in a burning house
Where I was never desired

Cowards Both of us
