Mailbox Arson lyrics
by Alexisonfire
[Pre-Chorus: George Pettit]
Your mail's not safe in this town, your mail's not safe in this town
Your mail's not safe in this town, your mail's not safe in this town
[Verse 1: George Pettit]
I strike a red bird on your face, I pour the kerosene in your mouth
I watch the match fall down your throat
I burn all your precious bowels, watch the smoke fold for every crack
And breathe in your secret lives
All your bills pay your welfare checks but I don't think I can stay for long
There's a lot more that's not yet ash
[Pre-Chorus: George Pettit]
Your mail's not safe in this town, your mail's not safe in this town
Your mail's not safe in this town, well I'm taking this town back
[Chorus: Dallas Green]
I watch the smoke start to rise, one hundred homes, one hundred fires
Everything you own now burns away
This town is no longer mine, it's f*cked with me for the last time
How I wish that I could see your face
[Verse 2: George Pettit]
When the sky is streaked with plumes, know that it's my signature
Upon this wretched f*cking city
Mailbox arson, my sweet revenge
Mailbox arson, my sweet revenge
[Bridge: Dallas Green, George Pettit]
Strike a match and burn away
Every tie that binds me to this place
Strike a match and burn away
Every tie that binds me to this place
I will strike a match and burn away
Every tie that binds me to this place
Strike a match and burn away
Every tie that binds me to this place
When the smoke clears
You can consider us even
[Pre-Chorus: George Pettit]
Your mail's not safe in this town, your mail's not safe in this town
Your mail's not safe in this town, I'm taking this town back
[Chorus: Dallas Green]
I watch the smoke start to rise, one hundred homes, one hundred fires
Everything you own now burns away
This town is no longer mine, it's f*cked with me for the last time
How I wish that I could see your face
