[Verse 1: Tyler Joseph]
I build
I syndicate
I destroy it all
Don't you know I hate to create
Been a thousand years
I’ve been trapped in my hole
1992 I felt I found a home
Little me, little school
It felt good to be cool
Then my mother said
Go to bed
All my friends disappeared
She became the teacher
And the preacher
And all the friends I hold dear
But steer away from me today
There’s a lot about me that's happened
But it won’t be nothing
Once my fingers get snapping, done

[Pre-Chorus: Halsey]
I'm feeling pain without you
I hate it when I can't love you
I love it when I am with you
I love it when I can love you

[Chorus: Halsey}
You try and hide
And try to disguise yourself
Said you can't hide
I won't feed on someone else
Said you can suck it
I found a way around it
Said I'm constructive
Ain't no doubt about it, 'bout it now

[Post-Chorus: Josh Dun]
I guess that I'm just an emotional arsonist

[Verse 2: Halsey]
Myself, the days melt away
The pay doesn't pay today
Don't do it for that way
Do the music
Do just choose it
Refuse it
I lose it
It's worthless
And pointless
And I don't need to rhyme
To show how constructive I can be
No

[Pre-Chorus: Tyler Joseph and Halsey]
I'm feeling pain without you
I hate it when I can't love you
I love it when I am with you
I love it when I can love you

[Chorus: Tyler Joseph and Halsey]
You try and hide
And try to disguise yourself
Said you can't hide
I won't feed on someone else
Said you can suck it
I found a way around it
Said I'm constructive
Ain't no doubt about it, 'bout it now

[Post-Chorus: Josh Dun]
I guess that I'm just an emotional arsonist

[Bridge: Halsey]
He knows I like to fly
The shows require travel
But will my plane go down
Into some unforgivable gravel?
The thoughts cloud my head like a raging hurricane
Will I ever leave this awful ride, before we go down in flames?

[Outro: Josh Dun]
Emotional arsonist
Emotional arsonist
Emotional arsonist
Emotional arsonist
