Collins, Nico - Burning House Lyrics






My father left at nine years old
And mama stayed out in the cold
I made a promise I would never be them
But here I am inside this place
Suffocated by your face
I choose to stay cuz I'm too scared of leaving

So you're smashing frames to make me hurt
And saying things that I don't deserve
I sit there and take it, just like you know I would
Cuz the sound of screams are easier
Than just my thoughts with no one here
But it's too late, but it's too late
Nothing works

Now I swear we'll never make it out alive
Cuz we're tied up in this burning house
Tied up in this burning house
Tried to save us but you watched us die
Now we're locked inside this burning house
You won't ever let me out

I see them as they move their mouths
Saying they're so happy now
Telling me I'm lucky that I have you
As you pour my drink to shut me up
Pretending this is fucking love
And I just nod my head like I'm supposed to (is that you want?)

But behind closed doors we're in a war
I don't know what I did this for
But it's too late, but it's too late
Nothing works

Now I swear we'll never make it out alive
Cuz we're tied up in this burning house
Tied up in this burning house
Tried to save us but you watched us die
Now we're locked inside this burning house
You won't ever let me out

Why you gotta be so cruel
Playing in a game to lose
I did everything for you
It's all your fault, it's all your fault (bitch)
Why you gotta be so cruel
Playing in a game to lose
I did everything for you
I hope you suffer

Now I swear we'll never make it out alive
Cuz we're tied up in this burning house
Tied up in this burning house
Tried to save us but you watched us die
Now we're locked inside this burning house
You won't ever let me out

Burn it to the ground, burn it to the ground
Listen to the fire, revel in the sound
Burn it to the ground, ground, ground
Locked inside this burning house

Burn it to the ground, burn it to the ground
Listen to the fire, revel in the sound
Burn it to the ground, ground, ground
You won't ever let us out

  4. n.... S....

    I uh, wrote a character based off this song here's a quote
    *"Father, he left when I was just nine years old, and ma? She, she became cold, and I swore i'd never be like them, but here I am, suffocated in the face of a man who treats me like shit. So he's smashing frames to make me hurt, telling me all the things I don't deserve, I just sit there and fucking take it because the sounds of screams are more relaxing then the thoughts inside my own head. Now, I can't get out alive, because we're stuck here tied up in this burning fucking house, what's burning? Anger, anger is fucking burning inside my heart, people say i'm lucky to have my man, they're fucking lucky they can't see the bruises! I sit there pretending this is fucking love! Pretending like he loves me, what is a woman trapped to do? Because I sit here and take the abuse I get, is it, is is because I deserve it?" Alice Everest*

    Am I the only one who is getting reminded of Larry Johnson from the game Sally Face? Like, his dad left when he was 9-10, he kills himself and then as a ghost asks one of his best friends to burn the tree house where he hung himself because he couldn't escape the ghost world.

  16. I.... ....

  19. D.... O....

    The dislikes are the fire department.

  20. b.... d....

    You are a genious, i am lucky that i found your music 😌

  21. W.... A....

    I was almost 9 when my father said he would *promise* come back to see me (so I was 8, almost 9 basically)
    And then I was 10...




    ...when he *broke* that *promise* ... and his daughters *heart* ...

    And Nico, you have such an amazing talent of music. I absolutely love it! It helps me cheer up if i'm ever down. It like... insipres me somehow to eventually wanna make my *own* music one day! As many people here said, you are very underrated. I have to agree, your an amazing artist and I personally think that people should start paying attention to you. I ain't saying it like everyone has to pay attention to only you or just some different person, I just think people should like.. start realizing that there is more people out here who are doing amazing and try their hardest to succeed in stuff, rather its vlogging, being an artist, and stuff like that!

    Look, Nico you are an amazing person. Okay I may not have met you in person, but I still think your amazing and nothing can change that once or ever. Not negative things or stuff like that! I will not change my opinion about you.
    I love you and your music so very much!❤❤



    (Holy, I just realized my comment just looked like either someone trying to help smeone venting or someone was venting o.o)

  22. K.... P....

    It doesn't matter what song I click on.. it's all amazing.

  23. d.... ....

    Nico collins is so unnoticed. I know soon he will become one of the most famous singers and if he doesn't i will march on down to the nearest radio station and give a 15 minute speech about how this man needs to be noticed and become famous

  24. z.... ....

    Never imagined that i will be addicted to ur songs after listening to one of ur songs, keep it up

  25. j.... m....

    I came from the nightcore to listen for the O R I G I N A L

  26. m.... ....

    Every song is so satisfying and I literally feel connected to your songs with my soul. It's something I've never felt before. Just wow.

  27. J.... L....

    Now we’re locked inside this burning house
    You won’t ever let me out
    Burn it to the ground, burn it to the ground
    Listen to the fire, revel in the sound
    Burn it to the ground, ground, ground
    Locked inside this burning house

    Burn it to the ground, burn it to the ground

    I love all of your music it feels like your music speaks to people everyone I know says you will climb up those charts as fast as you could say 🔥

  70. T.... Y....

    Is the song copyrighted because im looking for one that isn't copyrighted

  71. r.... n....

    Well I always listen underrated singer
    Because I want to show my friends
    When u become famous
    That this is the person I listen from beginning

  72. b.... i....

    i feel like this song has a different meaning. it reminds me of hell a burning house tried to save us but you watch us die. it's like saying he's trying to escape this dark place but he'll never make it out alive and to me it's a great song but the meaning is darker than you think at fist love it Nico hope your alright💖 edit: when he says i don't know what i did this for also resembles how he might of sold his soul to the devil not saying you did! i just wanted to point that out as well and your other song saying you already sold your soul and it's great too but please take care of yourself. Edit: another thing saying on how you won't ever let us out also sounds like he's in hell this is very interesting to me i'll update if i find anything else to me that he sold his soul to the devil in my opion. Edit: when he also says the sound of screams are easier than just my thoughts it also sounds like he's in hell and that he will go there though i could just be going in too deep. Edit: woah just noticed when he said now we're locked inside this burning house and you won't ever let us out sounds like he's sold his soul and he'll be there because he's locked inside this "burning house" this is crazy i feel like you hid a lot of hidden things as a cry for help in your songs.. Edit: when he says burn it to the ground as in hell is underground another clue in my opion this is so interesting but also sad to know that this happened thank you Nico for everything.

  73. C.... A....
