Set Afire

From the day we met

I could tell you were suspicious

Right down to the core

Of what i want, who i am

And what i'm not

Every page was blank

Wherein the answers sank

But i'm no open book to analyze

Or pick apart

Set fire to the vow you break

Liar, you're only escaping

Your fire was your own mistake

I'm charred, scarring

Set afire

When your eyes turned to black

And the river ran malicious

In the blistered night

I was sound asleep

So i let my anchor down

Climbed onto your shores

Seeking shelter, and warmth

Then the sirens screamed their

Jagged threats into space

Set fire to the vow you break

Liar, you're only escaping

Your fire was your own mistake

I'm charred, scarring

Set afire

Crawl over the starboard side

With your knife in your teeth

Sink it deep this time and twist

A scarlet kiss

She'll never know what hit her

When the pirate has come

Sink it deep and move along

You're never wrong

Speak and make your peace

Carve Your name in me

And practice skillfully

The seditious acts you can't control

So dry your eyes

I disbelieve your every word

Do you feel the shame

Set your silence aflame

Of the treason making me believe

I'm the one?

Set fire to the vow you break

Liar, you're only escaping

Your fire was your own mistake

I'm charred, scarring

The price of your flame

Set afire.
