lyrics

We have been on fire; we have been on fire
We have burned everything behind us, and
we have burned everything that was before us
The forest creatures will run for their lives
We will burn them alive

I have been on fire I've been smoldering for days
You caught on fire from the embers of my gaze
I abuse you with the merest of glances
Do I make you uncomfortable with my sexual advances?

We have been on fire, we have burned everything
We have been on fire, we have burned everything

We used to roar with color as we burned at the stake
Bodies of tree dwellers used to smoke in our wake
We licked at the edges, peeled skin hair breath and bone
But now we are a gray thing, ugly dead alone

We have been on fire, we have burned everything
We have been on fire, we have burned everything

I'm gonna crawl for safety, low beneath the smoke
Watch me writhe and curl, but you won't see me choke
I'm gonna hold a wet cloth tight against my face
But you'll see how the carcinogens imbue me with grace

I'm sick, I'm ill, I can never be defined
If I blow my nose I will for sure blow your mind
Kleenex on the table and your brains on the floor
Wipe it with my sleeve until it's covered with gore

We have been on fire, we have burned everything
We have been on fire, we have burned everything

Getting kinda nasty I'm spitting up blood
Oh wait it's just your face that I've been chewing like my cud
I'll burn you I'll roast you I'll eat you alive
I will take my spark to anger and I'll thrive thrive thrive thrive

We have been on fire; we have been on fire
We have burned everything behind us, and
We have burned everything that was before us
The forest creatures will run for their lives
We will burn them alive

I'm gonna scream for saltines and a glass of ginger ale
But you'll wish you had this virus when you see how I exhale
I'm gonna cry for smelling salts, an ice pack for my head
But you'll wish you looked this pretty, when you were almost dead

My liver is burned, and my spleen and aorta
My lungs are fucking ragged, not just kinda sorta
Guts as hard as lava rock, a bombed battleship
Heart flaking, insubstantial, perfect kale chip

You're a beautiful human I have nothing against you,
Nothing for you but
Love Fire Love Fire
Love
Fire
Love
Fire
Liar Liar Liar Liar
