Boiling Point
American Theory
Somebody set the world on fire
Somebody set the world on fire!
Struck a match and said: Don’t be scared
Oxygen kissed gasoline and stripped you bare
Just be still and know that I'm a liar
Someone who set the world on fire
What makes a man a man?
Eyes intent to steal flesh?
Discard your name and cover face
Welcome to the masquerade
He’s wrapped in his red blankets
And you’re wrapped around his finger
Afraid to save your body
I'm catching fevers, high temperatures
Slip a pill, a careless whisper
I need hands to help build Dr. Jekyll
While I'm playing Mr. Hyde
A design to drag me down
If this is the devil, then I'm the bride
Married to the ground
Hiding your secrets in the heads of others
Is letting your brothers and sisters
Burn in hell in their own ways
I'm catching fevers, high temperatures
Slip a pill, a careless whisper
I need hands to help build Dr. Jekyll
While I'm playing Mr. Hyde
A design to drag me down
If this is the devil, then I'm the bride
Married to the ground
You’re no Atlas
You can’t hold this up forever
You’re no Atlas
You can’t hold his whole world up forever
Let the memories fade
Let them wash away
Nobody has to know about
The secrets of the spade
He’s wrapped in his red blankets
And you’re wrapped around his finger
Afraid to save your body
You’re no Atlas
You can’t hold this up forever
You’re no Atlas
You can’t hold this up forever
It’s time to speak now
So speak now and save somebody!
It’s time to speak now and save somebody!
Don’t go and hide!
