Left my house with a book of matches
To try to burn this city down
Instead I drove into the ocean
And started swimming 'til I drowned

'Cuz I'm a liar, liar, blood on fire
As drunk as I was
And the ships sail by

And the sharks in the water make me realize that death is real
And there's nothing at all that makes you feel as small as dying will
And ghosts have a way to make regrets feel so alive
But it's the death in us all that gives us hope of finding something better

I left my house with that book of matches
And all the worst intentions found
I locked my kids down inside the basement
And burned their dreams straight to the ground

'Cuz I'm a liar, liar, blood on fire
As fucked as I was
As my ship sank down

And the sharks in the water make me realize that death is real
And there's nothing at all that makes you feel as small as dying will
And ghosts have a way to make regrets feel so alive
But it's the death in us all that gives us hope of finding something better
