lyrics

Don’t sell the bed, let’s scorch the earth with fire instead.
Don’t tell me how you think it’s water when you know it’s bread.
Call me blasphemous, you can dine on that at church.
Your effect on me is oh so small, so you can save your hurt.

Fire & flames, they may burn my face off.
But they cannot singe my happiness - oh no!

Let’s be blasphemous, then we’ll go our separate ways.
I’m not the idiot you think I am, I have been to school.
I used to like that face, even when it made me want to cut my own.
I see the years meant nothing, your respect for me somewhat overblown.

Fire & flames, they may burn my face off.
But they cannot singe my happiness - oh no!

As you return to town and the fires are aglow.
You pick the pace up, drop your shoes and bags,
Well now I think you know.

I’ll be sitting in your favourite chair, with the smoke filling up my lungs.
All this fuss to be the one who’s one.
Oh what have we become?
Oh no…
