Arsonist Games by The Aaron Clift Experiment Lyrics

You ignited brightly into my hearth
With your roaring kerosene torch
The warmth of your flames drew me closer to you
As the pyre of our cinders grew

Then I smelled the wood you charred
And the blackened lives you scorched
And I wondered if I’d be a tree in your way
The next one that you would raze

I know it’s your nature to follow your whims
But when you burn the forest, don’t it sear your skin?

You say it’s just the way we have
To blaze our own trail
Then you stoke the coals in my fireplace
And claim: “together we can’t fail!”

I know it’s my nature to follow those who tell me I’ll win
But now I see I made a mistake when I let your inferno in
So find a tree that likes the smell of your smoke
‘cause your path of ashes is making me choke
Take your torch away – I don’t want your flames
And don’t tell me I’m the one that’s broke
‘cause you can’t quit your arsonist games

I know it’s my nature to follow those who tell me I’ll win
But now I see I made a mistake when I let your inferno in

So find a tree that likes the smell of your smoke
‘cause your path of ashes is making me choke
Take your torch away – I don’t want your flames
And don’t tell me I’m the one that’s broke
‘cause you can’t quit your arsonist games
