Lyrics
Arsonist burning down the world to feel it's heat The arsonist doesn't feel the embers on his feet And arsonist, your humans starter kit came incomplete My apologies, arsonist, you loved me I'm going to a building that's on fire Handcuffed to a narcissistic liar Empty space and leather jeans Eyes are blazed with apathy
Fool me twice, the shame is on me Am I a victim in your game? Am I a subtle antique placed? Will you pass me through your bloodline with your ornamental age? Can I take the blame for everything you hate? The punishment and crime are not the same Arsonist burning down the world to feel it's heat The arsonist doesn't feel the embers on his feet
And arsonist, your humans starter kit came incomplete My apologies, arsonist, you loved me You built a small container to keep on me confined I am water, I am shapeless, I am fluid, I'm divine Somebody will love me for the way that I'm designed Devastation, creation, intertwined You don't love the flames, you just want them for yourself And douse my head in kerosene, horizon into hell
You smothered out the glow I grew for you, but it was mine too Arsonist burning down the world to feel it's heat The arsonist doesn't feel the embers on his feet And arsonist, your humans starter kit came incomplete My apologies, arsonist, you loved me Alchemy's not love, it's playing God and there's repentance paid for Entering the temple like a fog in your charade You leave me sleeping in the dark so you can hide away your blade
Then lock the door and trap me right here in the blaze Arsonist burning down the world to feel it's heat The arsonist doesn't feel the embers on his feet And arsonist, your humans starter kit came incomplete My apologies, arsonist, you loved me Have you ever broken and thrown down? Have you ever worried that you'd be burned off in a sack? Have you ever given the world to somebody as a gift and have it returned?
Did you know the father's DNA stays inside the mother for seven years? Have you ever waited seven years? Have you ever woken from a dream just to realize that you were still asleep? Do you ever wish you were still asleep? Do you ever wish you wouldn't wake up?
