when it burns

The smell of plastic when it burns

Play dates and classmates taking turns

The world alone would never care

I see you're home but are you there at all

So don't get startled when alarms are trying to keep you safe from harm

Don't jump the gun and end unarmed

I warned you once

We never swear at all

I had this thought I have these dreams I dream my thoughts are scattering

I fall to pieces paranoid

Then I wake up and I forget it all

We dance in fire like it's all we ever wanted to burn

But once you hit that third degree boy there's just no return

Natural instinct says you always gotta hit it and run

But that never really worked for anyone

Psychotropic substance sending signals for the mainframe

Guaranteed thrill guaranteed no one will complain

Tell me something sir

How do you plan to get by

Planting all those seeds

In a soil that's too dry

Heard it from a friend who got lost in translation

Better take all the right pills for the occasion

Once they've all found out there's no need for hesitation

Just sink into the floor yea you're part of the foundation

We dance on fire like it's all we've ever wanted to burn

But once you hit that third degree boy there's just no return

Natural instinct says you've always gotta hit it and run

But that never really worked for anyone

The smell of plastic when it burns

Play dates and classmates taking turns

The world alone would never care

I see you're home but are you there at all
