I shan't be caught
Pouring gasoline around
On the curtains
A spritz here and there
Gasoline drenched
I smile in the putrid air
Walk to the exit doors
Nail them shut
Must be sneaky though
I shan't be caught
A couple bangs
I'm through in here
A spray of Febreeze
I continue to sneer
Into the Grand Hall
All seems fine
Gasoline lines the walls
No smell this time
Into the stairwells
Mop the floors
Gasoline masked easily
Behind these doors
Exit quietly
I shan't be caught
Elevators all laced
Their 'innocent' lives shall be bought
An hour to spare
They'll arrive soon
I leave the Theatre
Hang in the back, with the raccoons
Pretend to sleep
On the dumpster
45 minutes later
I'm free to muster
Walk to the front
Where none reside
I nail those doors shut
They're now stuck inside
Stand in front
In the pitch of night
Take the matches from my pocket
They've yet to know fright
Slip one out
Twirl between my fingers
Set it alight
Smoke lingers
Toss it to the front door
All is now beautiful
Flames cascade up
Swallow the Theatre full
Screams and yells subside
Flames dance before my eyes
I walk across the street
In my disguise
Act as an innocent bystander
As my work of art thrives
Death must feel busy
As I'm taking these lives
Soon all is in ashes
All lives are taken
Thanks to the match
Pyromania is no longer mistaken
