The Fire Inside

from Battles by Kingsley Flood

/

lyrics

I know angels listen when you sing
You got your music stand in the corner, your voicemail recordings
Cute hair brush tied to a string

But I know dishes ain’t for stacking in sinks
Wrinkles not for shirts, carpets not for dirt
This tub won’t scrub itself

Chorus

Sadie stay steady I’m on your side
But baby when are you gonna learn?
Now is not the time for the fire inside
To come out and burn

I know you been sleeping with open eyes
Your demo tape topped the household charts
In your coffeeshop show you looked real nice

I know you been staring at a picture of old
I must’ve looked different, I must’ve looked younger
Because I heard you whisper “where did he go?”

Chorus

I heard there’s somebody new at your door
Well I bet he’s younger, but I do wonder
Why you don’t sing anymore

Chorus
