Fire Bug

I'm the torchbearer for the bonfire of Vanities
So there's an inferno sparking in my heart
It's reaching five alarm and lighting up the dark

The stars are old, they rest in cold
They remind me of chill night smoke
And all the things that left me breathless
When I'm told to try and hold on

Picture this smoldering in your desires
After reaching scorching satisfaction   
I incinerate all that's transpired

I could have cauterized the holes
And been a dragon protecting my gold
But I couldn't stop it, flesh is gone
Instead I burned it all
Flame and ash and calm
My only feelings coming from the heat

The wounds become bubbled up scars
From skin pressed to red-hot iron bars
Now all my problems melt away
Purification with gasoline

A vigorous dance of immolation 
A haunted house for cremation
Until my body is home to arson
I'm a fire-starter in a blaze of catharsis
Charred remains as burnt offerings
My sacrifice is fuel for a firey hell 
And that promise is a pyro's paradise fulfilled
