The Arsonist

It began with a classic scene
Three cans filled with gasoline
And a couple of matches
Strike 'em up and it catches
Fire, watch it start to burn
Higher, let your heart return
To the place that it longs for
Every time that it wants more

You love the feeling of
Watching the ceiling collapse
As flames cook the scraps
I still remember when
You watched the embers embrace
With joy on your face

Everyone blames the arsonist
When the siren starts to wail
Mixing with flames like scars on wrists
Only flying sparks prevail
Whatever games the stars insist
On playing the same old guards enlist
Everyone blames the arsonist

Its freeing and empowering
Seeing fire devouring
Everything that it touches
Nothing's safe from it's clutches
Psycho, your inferno just
Might grow to a burning mess
You could never control it
From the moment the coals lit

The flames coalesce and they spiral vainly back
You became so obsessed you're a pyromaniac
Yes you're the prime suspect
But I'm not sure just yet
That everything's as it seems
But I'm not sure what that means
