Arsonist

Arsonist, burning down the world to feel its heat

The arsonist doesn't feel the embers on his feet, and

Arsonist, your human starter kit came incomplete

My apologies, arsonist, you loved me

I'm glued to a building that's on fire

Handcuffed to a narcissistic liar

Empty space and lethargy

Eyes aglaze with apathy

Fool me twice, the shame is on me

Am I a victim in your game?

Am I a set of antique plates?

Will you pass me through your bloodline with your ornamental rage?

Can I take the blame for everything you hate?

The punishment and crime are not the same

Arsonist, burning down the world to feel its heat

The arsonist doesn't feel the embers on his feet, and

Arsonist, your human starter kit came incomplete

My apologies, arsonist, you loved me

You built a small container to keep all of me confined

I am water, I am shapeless, I am fluid, I'm divine

Somebody will love me for the way that I'm designed

Devastation, creation intertwined

You don't love the flames, you just want them for yourself

Douse my head in kerosene, horizon into hell

And you smothered out the glow I grew for you

But it was mine too

Arsonist, burning down the world to feel its heat

The arsonist doesn't feel the embers on his feet, and

Arsonist, your human starter kit came incomplete

My apologies, arsonist, you loved me

Alchemy's not love, it's playing God

And there's a penance paid for entering a temple like a fraud in your charade

You leave me sleeping in the dark so you can hide away your blade

Then lock the door and trap me right here in the blaze

Arsonist, burning down the world to feel its heat

The arsonist doesn't feel the embers on his feet, and

Arsonist, your human starter kit came incomplete

My apologies, arsonist, you loved me

Have you ever—

Have you ever been worried that if you—

Have you ever given the world to somebody as a gift and had it returned?

Did you know the father's DNA stays inside the mother for seven years?

Have you ever waited seven years?

Have you ever woken from a dream just to realize that you were still asleep?

Do you ever wish that you were still asleep?

Do you ever wish you wouldn't wake up?
