Nothing Cleanses Quite Like Fire - Schoolyard Heroes

This is the worst of wounds

My soul blisters like your skin

This is a call to arms

Knives have started sharpening themselves

I’ve told you this before

Boards and nails won’t stop the flames

Your looks will scorch the earth

As if to say that you are mine again

This is my taped confession

My nervous voice will hurt us all the same

Remind me of nothing

Corpse charades

Dare you speak my name

Re-dress bullet holes

Your medicine is useless

Isolation necessity

Nothing cleanses quite like fire

Nothing cleanses quite like fire

Don’t scream

Your worthless calls will draw attention

To Me

I’ll make you mine

Don’t scream

Your story’s marred with bad intentions

For me

I’ll make you mine

Look at me

Lie to me

Honestly?

We’re enemies

Taste the color red blood like prison wine

Know these awful things

You don’t have much time

Burning

Your cold heart is burning

Your whole world is burning

All the kids are burning

Your whole world is burning

Your cold heart is burning

Your whole world is burning

All the kids are burning

Your whole world is burning now

Nothing cleanses quite like fire

You’ll bleed

It’s hacking at your guilty conscience

You’ll see

I’ll make you mine

Don’t scream

Your worthless calls will draw attention

To Me

I’ll make you mine

I’ve got to let you know

Infection overgrown

If they could see you now

Your thoughts are leaking out

We’ve got to let them know

Our skin is growing old

Brush the dust off from your soul

Yours and mine were bought and sold

Look at me

Lie to me

Honestly?

We’re enemies

Teenage obsessions

Taped confessions

These will hurt us all the same

Have you tasted poison like this

Dare you speak my name
