lyrics

The Arsonist

She said she likes fire engines
But that ain’t the truth
She liked the boys in uniform
But what can you do?

Man this feels so familiar
Egos starting to bruise
My jealous mind is a killer
That comes alive with the blues

Trying to stay on the tracks of the mainline
And then as if right on cue
A bit of truth wrapped in a white lie
Another turn of the screw

Light on the details and short on the fuse

Severed our ties, said our goodbyes
Tired of sorting the truth from the lies
She started to cry, got lost in her eyes
Numbed by the words she spoke through the sighs
She wears a disguise by playing the friend
She runs down the clock just to start it again
Then I look in those eyes…Oh man!

Gonna throw the switch on the mainline
I’m gonna turn this around
Gonna light a fire to the grapevine
I’m gonna turn this around
Rebuild the trust and the regard
I’m gonna turn this around
Or drag the whole thing out to the graveyard
Where I’ll burn it all down, down, down, down!
