I was just an acrobat
High above the street
Pointing at the ground, the empty sky beneath my feet
The perfect fall
No one could tell at all
That it was killing me
You were just an astronaut
Floating on a spark
Tearing up the atmosphere, burning down the dark as you fell in
The heat against your skin
Till it got too bright to see
Far away
I hear the things they say about me
Even though
They know you had to go without me
Now you are an architect
Setting up the sea
Everyone is with you and you're all waiting for me
You check the net
But you haven't caught me yet
They're not quite done with me
Now I am an arsonist
Seven miles high
Burning through the air, I breathe thunder in the sky
My engine sings
As it melts this pair of wings
That only I can see
Touch the sun
My eyes wide open, unbelieving
Catch a breath
The only one who's left is leaving
Now I am an arsonist
