Dashboard Confessional

I Light My Own Fires Now

Slip out the back before those

Handlers get to tight on you

I light my own fires now

Slip in this town like it was

Measured to fit right on you

We light our own fires now

We lead ourselves into the night

Oh yeah,

I don't think I'll be held inside an ordinary cell

Am I the escape or

Am I the escape artist?

I know,

I know it's just a question of details

Or one of,

Denial.

Could all of this trip wire

Cut so easy?

We'll just see

Cut the alarm before the

Motion sets off its sensors

We move in silence now

We guard our secrets with our lives

And cover our tracks so we are

Protected from surveillance

We move in silence now

We lead ourselves into the fight

Into the fight

And all the saints

Will rise again

As sons of wealthy men

Tear the whole world down before our eyes

And all the signs

We should have read

While we ignored the dead
