from autumn to ashes-on the offensive

Elementary eavesdropper

There are things you cannot comprehend

Did you want a kiss?

Did you want a flower in your fist?

Or was it all just make pretend?



I'll follow you until the end

I'll follow...



Burning down your home

(burn it down)

Just to rebuild it again

(burn it down)

I would never steal from you

(burn it down)

Or any one of your friends

(burn it down)



Adolescent eavesdropper

There are things you wish you could forget

So you start to weep

And you start to drink yourself to sleep

And you only kiss your cigarette



But don't we all feel sick to death

Or do we...



Burning down your home

(burn it down)

Just to rebuild it again

(burn it down)

I would never steal from you

(burn it down)

Or any one of your friends

(burn it down)



You shower me with gifts

They don't fix it

I'm no purchase bastard

Fuck up tell me right now

If you find me on the offensive

for the first time help out, tell me right now

are you happy?

how can you be?

are you happy with me?



You're an adult eavesdropper

and by now the roles have been reversed

so you inflict the shit you hated as a kid

there is only one way to break this curse



Burning down your home

(burn it down)

Just to rebuild it again

(burn it down)

I would never steal from you

(burn it down)

Or any one of your friends

(burn it down)
