lyrics

Set me on fire!

I could rant but why bother
There’s so much clutter in my head
I can’t get anything out
So it just builds and builds and builds
Until everything just implodes
It creates this black hole of sorts
Where thoughts go to die
And I wish I could hate this
Hate losing the best ideas I’ll ever have
But all I can do is laugh

I WANT YOU TO TAKE A CAN OF GAS
DUMP THE WHOLE THING ON ME
UNTIL YOU CAN SMELL ME FROM THE NEXT TOWN OVER
THEN I WANT YOU TO LIGHT A MATCH
MAYBE LIGHT THE WHOLE MATCHBOX
AND THROW IT AT ME
AT WHICH POINT YOU WILL RUN AWAY
YOU WILL NOT LOOK BACK
BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT READY TO WATCH A HUMAN BEING MELT BEFORE YOUR VERY EYES

I am a decaying carcass that lives in the back of your mind
Your image of me will always be wrong somehow, no matter how you perceive me
May I be a hero or a villain to you, I am everything and nothing
Maybe I’m overthinking all of this
It’s not like this is some sort of immolation
There’s no reason for this, I just want to be not here anymore
What hell hath I wrought to put me in this place
What cruel and unusual punishment did I deserve
What legacy am I leaving behind to those who love me
What’s left to throw into the pyre
