Arsonist Lyrics by Halsey
Arsonist burning down the world to feel it’s heat
The arsonist doesn’t feel the embers on his feet
Arsonist, your humans starter kit came incomplete
My apologies, arsonist, you loved me
I’m going to a building that’s on fire
Handcuffed to a narcissistic liar
Empty space and leather jeans
Eyes are blazed with apathy
Fool me twice, the shame is on me
Am I a victim in your game?
Am I a subtle antique placed?
Will you pass me through your bloodline with your ornamental age?
Can I take the blame for everything you hate?
The punishment and crime are not the same
Arsonist burning down the world to feel it’s heat
The arsonist doesn’t feel the embers on his feet
Arsonist, your humans 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 am divine
Somebody will love me for the way that I’m designed
Not the station, creation, intertwined
You don’t love the flames, you just want them for yourself
That’s my hell and kerosene arising in the hell
You smothered out the glow I grew for you but it was mine too
Arsonist burning down the world to feel it’s heat
The arsonist doesn’t feel the embers on his feet
Arsonist, your humans starter kit came incomplete
My apologies, arsonist, you loved me
How come it’s not love? It’s playing God and there’s repentance paid for
Entering the temple like a fog in your charade
You leave me sleeping in the dark so you can hide away your blade
And lock the door and trap me right here in the blaze
Arsonist burning down the world to feel it’s heat
The arsonist doesn’t feel the embers on his feet
Arsonist, your humans starter kit came incomplete
My apologies, arsonist, you loved me
Have you ever broken and thrown down?
Have you ever worried that you’d be burned off in a sack?
Have you ever given the world to somebody in a gift and have it returned?
Did you know the father’s DNA stays inside the mother for seven years?
Ever you waited seven years?
Have you ever woken from a dream just to realize that you’re still asleep?
Do you ever wish you were still asleep?
Do you ever wish you wouldn’t wake up?
