I REP THEM BURNING BUILDINGS BECAUSE THEM BURNING BUILDINGS THEY KEEP ME WARM

I’m kind of HOUSEFIRE for life, so it brings me no small amount of joy to share with you a poem I wrote just for them, which they have chosen to share with you all. DEAD SUPERMODELS SAVED MY LIFE is the anthem, so please, get ‘em up. Thanks, HF Crew!

FORTUNES TOLD, HOUSEFIRE STYLE

I have a small something in this HOUSEFIRE FORTUNE TELLER: THE TEMPERAMENTAL DANCE. This isn’t the fortune teller I remember from grade school; this one here is rigged to explode.

Download, fold, and amaze people before you kidnap them or take their shoes. Tell them Housefire is back.
