Arsonist

"Arsonist"

Honey, let's burn the house down like arsonists
Let's salvage our self-respect
Let's run away from humanity
And do the things we never trusted ourselves to do
Let's hand out lies like party favors
And become people we never wanted to be

Honey, let's burn the house down like arsonists
If only for the insurance
We can blame it on Nobody-
Maybe he won't mind
Or maybe he only exists
If we choose to believe

Honey, let's burn the house down like arsonists
Then run away to isolation
Anywhere but here
Let's keep running until the earth gets smaller
Until we've got nothing left to possibly lose
Until we've lost sight of ourselves

Honey, let's burn the house down like arsonists
Maybe spread it to the neighbors
Share the prize
Then disappear

Honey, let's burn the house down like arsonists
Let's not leave a trace
The newspaper headings will read "Lost" and "Missing"
But we won't be there to read

Honey, let's burn the house down like arsonists
Who knows, maybe we'll start a trend
It will be the next big thing
Suddenly everyone will be gone
And the earth will disappear
Because it will have never existed

Honey, let's burn
