LYRICS
"i’m a match, she’s kerosene, you know she’s gonna burn down everything, she’s an arsonist, in her pastime, and i’ve been burned for the last time, it started out like any other morning, the sky was red, he took it as a warning, she kicked the hive, now the bees are swarming, then played the victim 'til the crowd starts forming, she’s got a history of making a scene, yeah she’s telling stories, she’s gaslighting, like he’s the executioner and she is the queen, but he’s the one who’s neck is in a guillotine, he said i’m a match, she’s kerosene, you know she’s gonna burn down everything, she’s an arsonist, in her pastime, and i’ve been burned for the last time, the smoke clears out, and he’s been awakened. he said this life could be mine for the taking, she needs a drink so she start shaking, and play the victim, 'til his heart starts breaking, no real tears cause she don’t mean it, this landscape used to be so scenic, and he could make it out, if he could dream it. rising up from the ash, he’s a phoenix, i’m a match, she’s kerosene, you know she’s gonna burn down everything, she’s an arsonist, in her pastime, and i’ve been burned for the last time, you play with me, you're playin' with fire."
