The smell of gasoline ignites
A fire burning deep inside the mind
I am dressed in sundays best

I did it love, I'd do it all again
Though I worry more and more
Of what my parents they will say

As they read about their son
And congregate for breakfast the next day


I set fire to a crowded room
And watched as it disappeared
I set fire to a crowded room

And I can't help but walk away

Malicious deeds with crooked hands

I can't afford to take the blame for this
And though I face the final doubt
No God above can take me as I am

So turn your back when I arrive
And we'll pretend this all was for the crime
Until you understand my fate

I will never let you get away

I set fire to a crowded room

And watched as it disappeared
I set fire to a crowded room
And I can't help but walk away

I set fire to a crowded room (2x)

Tell me where you want to lie

I feel it, I know
Waiting on the better life
Is always the same as

Everything is just a lie
The nothing the nowhere
But how could I have been so wrong?

To trust a fixed idea
Your love is just a sinking stone
Dropped without thought or care

You're losing everything you know
