Obsessive Compulsive House Fire
the music
it had to be put in order
that was 15 years ago
i still can't stop
The songs they sang alluded to the fireplace
probably, maybe, I'm not soo sure
The bricks just below the mantel
it was like a code
i couldn't get the whole thing out of my head
order of music
nonsense bricks
never sleep again
They told me the devil made me do it
and my box number made sense to that affect
They must have had some clue
all the pieces fit
except for those bricks
brick by brick in my head
The music must have alluded to it
obsessively make a story out of song
the bricks out of whack
can't get it out of my head
the devil made me do it
and still i pay the price
while it turns out i was sort of innocent all along
