Pyro Compulsive Lyrics

A supernatural threshold to pain
Will come to your defense
When appendages go up in flames
A strike of a match, the stench of kerosene all you remembered
Before your quarters and possessions hosted human ember
The seizures, the lust...
The blackouts kill your recollection
Arson obsessive, pyro-compulsive
The singeing, the scorching,
The smoldering through third degree
Has been and will always be

Pyro-compulsive at high frequency
Self inducing blackening anatomy
Pleasure from pain and untold misery
Psychoanalysis the law demands release
Pyro-compulsive at high frequency
Psychoanalysis fire always sets them free

Consciousness is lost
While everything you own
Goes up in smoke
Dying ventilation
Inhale the incinerating toke
Under the dermatome
And placing graft on top of graft
Addicted for as long as it lasts
Just one more time before I pass
The seizures, the lust...
The blackouts kill your recollection
Scarring flesh feeds infection
Arson obsessive, pyro-compulsive
Burning fantasies in gasoline
As heat consumes your entity,
Torch your own identity

Pyro-compulsive at high frequency
Self inducing blackening anatomy
Pleasure from pain and untold misery
Psychoanalysis the law demands release
Pyro-compulsive at high frequency
Psychoanalysis fire always sets them free

(solo Jaeger)

Burning fantasies in gasoline
As heat consumes your entity
Arson obsessive, pyro-compulsive

Pyro-compulsive at high frequency
Self inducing blackening anatomy
Pleasure from pain and untold misery
Psychoanalysis the law demands release
Pyro-compulsive at high frequency
Psychoanalysis fire always sets them free

Cover art for Pyro Compulsive lyrics by World Under Blood

"I'm obsessed with mental illness, and I love to learn and explore that field in my music. The idea of someone lusting over lighting their house on fire while they're inside sounds like a stretch, but I bet there's someone out there that enjoys being burnt. Incidentally, this track has the most difficult to play riff that I've ever come up with, and it is the chorus riff. It's a fucking bitch, but it's hooky as hell. Unlike a lot of bands out there I don't try to write complicated music for the sake of it because i think in the end there really isn't a song there. But a lot of metal bands can write technical parts that are also catchy, and I learned that from Gorguts, Pestilence, Death, Cynic, and Believer...in 1993. Luke Jaeger's solos are incredible, and although he's extremely eccentric, he's an amazing friend and extremely gifted." - Deron Miller
