Smoke Alarm

The Cornish house burned down last night
No one can handle the smell
His nine girls are still inside
Clawing the window sill

No one can handle the smell
Screams in the upstairs bedroom
Clawing the window sill
He tasted bitter filter fiber

Screams in the upstairs bedroom
He awoke in the smoke which made him choke
He tasted bitter filter fiber
Along with all those inside

He awoke in the smoke which made him choke
The screams stopped before he awoke
Along with all those inside
The screaming had died

The screams stopped before he awoke
When he woke in the smoke
The screaming had died
Along with all those inside

When he woke in the smoke
The screaming had died
Along with all those inside
Silent ashes

The screaming died
Nine souls lost
Silent ashes
The Cornish house burned down last night
