Start A Fire Lyrics by Abbie Barrett

Dying Day

2008

Hey there little girl
What you know about your world
Where everything seems placed
In perfect holy order
Well you sing so loud
But always that cloud
Of a promise you vowed
That’s built to outlast
It’s steadfast
See you were typecast
Before you even performed
So will you obey or throw it away
And risk being reborn
See how it shines
That sweet fruit upon the vine
Deep red just like the stuff that flows within you
Oh if you could taste but would it lay waste
Would it all go up in flames
Oh it’s senseless
It’s reckless
No, don’t be feckless
You don’t know from desire
Or do you take a bite and watch fate alight
As you…
Start a fire
Cause heaven knows it’s time to raise some hell
Hell knows that heaven’s what you live to tell
So grab a torch and burn it to the ground
And hope they like the sound
Now you’ve done it
Setting everything ablaze
You who thought it wise to play with matches
Will it all turn out or will you burn out
At the first sign of doubt
You better torch it
Scorch it
No, don’t dare forfeit
The sparks you’ve set off
And in the smoke and haze if they stand in your way
Tell them where to get off
As you...
Start a fire
Cause heaven knows it’s time to raise some hell
Hell knows that heaven’s what you live to tell
So grab a torch and burn it to the ground
And hope they like the sound
