I Started A Fire

lyrics

I started a fire
that I just couldn't put out
It burnt the memories that you
and I used to talk about

I started a fire
with everything I had
It grew so fast and way too much
I can never take it back
and now it's everywhere
Its out of my control
I let it melt my exoskeleton
I let it wither up my soul

(chorus)
In conflagration
you're the only one
you're the only one
In exsanguination
I have no more blood to bleed
No dreams to dream

I started a fire
that I just couldn't put out
You told me once not to run away
but I always had my doubts
I started a fire
it spread right to my innocence
I drew its breath straight down my lungs
just to let it in again

So now I'm complicit in
your shortness of breath
The reason you grow to resent me

Like one last cigarette
The blood evidence
the thorn in my side
You pulled from out of me...
