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 Starting fires Best believe there's no way that they're stopping us
