the arsonist Lyrics

Baby, this ain't no controlled burn

This house is burning to ashes in our hands

Oh, in our hands

It's withered and blue, like this rose that you gave me

When you swore you'd never treat me this bad

But I'm starting to think that you knew just what you were doing

When you lit the match and you said

This ain't no controlled burn

Cause we're arsonists now, baby

Leaving scorch marks on this planet as it turns

This ain't no controlled burn

And we'll only leave this house

As two pillars of smoke

As we choke on the rubble of what could have been

Oh, what should have been

Oh, what would have been

But for the tinders in this place

But for the hollows in your face

Guess I'm an arsonist now, baby

Call me an arsonist now, baby

I'm setting fire to our halcyon days

I'm setting fire to my innocent ways

This ain't no controlled burn

But if you only come when you smell smoke

Then I'll set the world aflame and watch it grow

Into the sky, ashes piling high in my hands as we dance

As we fall, as we cry

As we die

As we die
