Arsonist Daughter

I walk the woods in the misty nighttime
When I can't feel my hands and I can't see a sunrise
But I can see all the things you've wanted and I've lost
Loving someone you know you'll disappointment, comes at a cost

When I'm not alone, I set houses on fire
With loved ones inside between the ashes and the embers
I wish I was smoke and could slip right through your fingers

Wading through the wreckage of another home in flames
This foundation's still standing, but it could never feel the same
Bursting out a twisted door frame
Gasping for air, eyes planted on the sky
Stars are burning out one by one, they're the shells of past lives

When I'm not alone, the night sky swirls around me
And constellations are always changing their meanings
Wish I was the star that could slip right through your vision

What you see shines brightly
But step out from your homes and float into the dark
Can't you see I'm already gone
I'm the shell of a star and the ghost of your child

Look at me, your arsonist daughter
Gasping for air and afraid to fall under
I want you to hate me so you'd leave me alone
A child this wild cannot be provoked
Don't get too close
