The Arsonist Lyrics

Smoke filled the room

How ironic

The Arsonist is you

I'm terrified by it

But I've got nothing to lose, thanks to you

Thank god you bought the brick house

& insured all your jewels

So when its burning down

The flame don't catch you

But I'm left with the ashes of what I thought - I saw in you

You'll expect a cliche -

Song about it

And the phoenix I became

& you'll laugh and say "I'll change all the words"so you'll sing it anyway

Who will take my place

Around the table?

You'll name and shame all of my faults

While I'm left with the ashes of what I thought

The dinner party was always set for multiples of 2

I'm thinking

All I had to lose - was the thought… of what I saw in you

Was I just a threat

You had to cut loose?

Reminder of what

You wish you could do

My presence was just some ego boost.

You're drunk on your virtue

Stoking that flame

But there's rage in your voice

In the cold light of day

And in the end a transaction was made

Smoke filled the room

How ironic

The Arsonist was always you

Orchestrating a power move

And I'm left

All I've left are the ashes of what I thought

I saw in you
