Fireplace Lyrics

Like an old man walks to the end of his life
And he's carrying a bag of bloody knives
Pass them out and say "hold them tight"
Here's a weight too sharp to hold

So I'll take true love
And I'll cut it up with scissors
And I'll throw it in the fireplace
We can disappear together

Cut by a weight too sharp to hold
With a burnt soul, healing is painful
Asked to forgive when you're still angry
If I can't heal my heart, forgive me

So I'll take true love
And I'll cut it up with scissors
And I'll throw it in the fireplace
We can burn it out forever

Why is life so hard?
And I'll cut it up with scissors
And I'll throw it in the fireplace
We can disappear together

Cut by a weight too sharp to hold
So surround yourself with good people
I know it's painful but we can stand
And if this man can't walk, lend him a hand

With a burnt soul, healing is painful
Asked to forgive when you're still angry
If I can't heal my heart, forgive me
