With a spark
We burst into flame
But In the dark
It's a slow decay
Volatile
Like a crashing wave
Infantile
So set, set in our ways
The fire spreads
Hyperreactive
Waiting for the time
Waiting for the time to ignite
It's so tragic
Running out of time
Running out of daylight
Race to burn down the effigy
Commit the image to memory
A dance of matches and gasoline
Just put the blame on chemistry
The fire spreads
Where the glass meets the brick, I’ll be
Where the arrow greets the target
The flame grows
The fire spreads
