Project: Arson

Aug 27, 2008 04:05

Started working on this with Josh and Jay when Deadlight holiday was together.  I have the melody and harmony laid out, so now we get to fuck around with the accompaniment.  This is the latest project-- but it's being ressurected from about a year and a half ago.  I've always liked the lyrics Josh wrote, and the melody that kinda springboarded from them.

You say you love me like a fire
But all I feel (is the burn) is the pain
And it's a hell to live without you
But even sinners in hell know exactly why they came...
You say you love me like the water
But all I need is some air
My hands and my lips are blue for you....

I want to burn (in spontaneous combustion)
but no past sin would partake of this arson
I want to burn (burn, burn burn it down)
Burn it down, burn it down....

Not even fire can burn forever (for you)
Not even fire can burn forever (for you, burn me down)
It kills me to love to, to be a part of you
to have you inside of me, protecting and guiding me
Quenching my thirst and devouring my words
The backdraft it hurts but the silence is worse

I want to burn (in spontaneous combustion)
but no past sins can drown out this arson
I want to burn (burn, burn burn it down)
Burn it down, burn it down....

You say you love me like a fire
But all I feel (is the burn) is the pain
And it's a hell to live without you
I want to burn
I want to burn
burn it down, drown it out all the sights and the sounds
Of you, for you, to you, screw you
I want to burn (in spontaneous combustion)
But no past sins will partake of this arson
Burn it down, oh.
Not even fire can burn forever
Not even fire can burn forever
burn it down.
