Lyrics
[Canto I: She Burned Me Down. "{{{2}}}"]
She burned me down, down to the ground
She burned me down, down to the ground
Blood - though thicker than water - is harder to clean up
You'll get it in the end boy if the weapon of choice is love
Expecting it from a stranger or maybe an acquaintance
Never from family or friends though a simple mistake and expense
She burned me down, down to the ground
She burned me down, down to the ground
Pissed and disappointed I prey to learn to forgive
If I can't find it in my heart then I have no reason to live
Here is an education - the lesson professed is quite cruel
There are some things worse than death and one of them is you
Which one of them's you?
[Canto II: Start a Fire. "{{{2}}}"]
Every time I see her start a fire, I get higher
Every time I see her start a fire, I get higher
Every time, yes, every time I see, I get
Every time I see her start a fire, I get higher, higher
Every time I see her start a fire, I get higher
Every time I see her start a fire, I get higher
Every time, yes, every time I see, I get
Every time I see her start a fire, I get higher, higher
[Foreign content]
[Foreign content]
Every time, yes, every time I see, I get
Every time I see her start a fire, I get higher, higher
Every time I see her start a fire, I get higher
Every time I see her start a fire, I get high
