Starting Fires
Starting Fires
Skinhorse like a Cylon, wired with a virus for the hive mind
Propped up in Starbucks with a cup full of cyanide
And I never ever really saw my Dad working properly
Now he holds down the grave shift on God's property
Sin is innocence in the sense that living in the inner-city
We're sick of splitting the difference, a bitter pill or a bit of pity
Shit gets sticky for the picky, another fly for the fly paper
Try take a piece of the pie, get your life taken
I may believe lies I make up and I make believe each time I wake up
That I'm on a roll, so controlled, stone-cold and sober
Each night I roll in I'm just stoned, drunk and older
Had a vision that I snapped, as I pace the hard shoulder
On a party-flavoured poison I just can't pay the toll for
Here's a soldier to enlist. An aspiring arsonist
Well, he could have been God's gift
But he's got a devil's pitch to shift 'cause he's just
Starting fires
Best believe there's no way that they're stopping us
Starting fires
I'm so used to losing, find the sensation soothing
Turn to the telly for the news, there's a thought that's amusing
Don't hate me but lately feel shaky like Haiti
Don't wake me when I'm snoozing, It's all very confusing
Assumed I was Being Human, turns out I'm in the wrong race
Skinhorse they all say what's with the long face?
You should be going places; you're on the right road
But the traffic is a little slow up ahead
Stop, what's that glow?
Rip up at the handbrake and I step out of the whip, slip
Close to Falling Down but to the pit I'm stomach sick
Here's an update in status
I'm having to admit that I dropped the plot I found and lost
I have not got the grip
And this urge to burn is eating me, like The Walking Dead
So instead I start to run as this blood pounds my head
As the match struck lights, no will to fight left
Stand and watch it drop!
Starting fires
Best believe there's no way that they're stopping us
