lyrics

Verse 1:

Silent rage, disengaged
Fire on an empty page

Quiet still
ignorance is bliss until
the fire spreads and singes
all the hairs off of your face

No remorse
Oh, but of course
That’s the way the burning goes
impetuous force

The taste of smoke
Is only harsh until you choke
Then welcome suffocation
Awful nice of you to show

And everything around you starts to go

Chorus 1:

Kerosene ignites the evidence
But it leaves a mark for all to see
I take my chances
but it makes no sense at all
to watch the world around you burn and fall
to watch the world around you burn and fall

Verse 2:

We watch the savage spit and curse
The ground he ravaged
It reminds us all how fragile we forgot
We always were

You cry, and I try to explain exactly why
This bastard took our home and broke our bones
And made us all suffer
But I find that I am at a loss for words
Yes it seems that I am at a loss for words

Chorus 2:

Kerosene ignites the evidence,
But it leaves a mark for all to see.
I take my chances
But it makes no sense at all
To watch the world around you burn and fall
You watch the world around you burn and fall
You watch the whole world burn

And fall.

Chorus 3:

Kerosene ignites the evidence,
But it left a scar across my arms and I can’t feel anything
so it makes perfect sense to me
to blame it all on inhumanity
and stand aside as fire climbs the walls

so I’ll watch the world around me burn and fall
so I’ll watch the world around me burn and fall
Oh yes I’ll watch the world around me burn and fall
I’m gonna watch the world around me burn and fall
I wanna watch the world around me burn and fall
I wanna the whole world burn…

I don't know what it is, but in DWTD's discography this record really stands out to me. Picking a favourite track is difficult because all of the songs sound incredible to me, but POISON is probably the most fresh and energetic song in my opinion. zWarhead

This EP is superb. I did not expect the closing track to sound the way it does. Such an atmospheric and emotional sound, it really turns the rest of the EP up to eleven. zWarhead
