Emotional Arson

I'm chasing down an arsonist
Instead of putting out flames
So they went higher
Now my house is on fire
Climbed a mountain
To see what could be found
Turned out was nothing but down
About a mile
Could see my house on fire

I stop at green lights
You speed through red
shoulda listened
To what ten people said
was all on the wire
My house was on fire
You grew up in the snow
me in the sun
Didn't know where
but we both had to run
We wouldn't dare tire
With our houses on fire

Deal with the darkness
Don't make a deal with the darkness

You ask if I'm doing okay
I'm at a loss for what to say
But since you enquired
My house is on fire
God shook while Mary wept
The cross was built
while apostles slept
They had conspired
The house was on fire

I cut the dose in half
but I've never been good at math
Now I feel twice as much
And it still not nearly enough
To ease my desire
My house is on fire
