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
