He Wants You To Burn

He wants you to burn Because he has no fire He's wilting begonias On a funeral pyre Don't listen to secrets From his coward's hell He'd burn you alive Just to hear you yell He wants you to burn He's got time to kill He's going no place To nowhere that's real Don't look at his eyes Or his phantom pain He knows how to use Petty fires to maim He wants you to burn For as long as it lasts And then he'll move on As you hear him laugh He's laughing at you From behind his arm And you'll never see How he lives to harm His truth is a lie And his lies are art The embers he leaves Can blow lives apart
