lyrics
Caught in a fire in a temple
Feel free to join me in my shelter
It's got boiling heat, isolation
No judgment in my corner
Tempting demons, desperation
Spit out your words, dear
Make 'em real clear
Don't sell them your heart because they don't even feel
Spending your days digging your grave
I warned them off
But still, they found me
Got no control
I'm spun out on it
My attempt to fly is too pathetic
The smile I wear is at best cosmetic
I mirror these prosthetic passersby
Started when I was born anhedonic
This feeling in my chest is chronic
Mediocrity is my absolute best
Spit out your words, dear
Make 'em real clear
Don't sell them your heart because they don't live in fear
Spending your days digging your grave
I warned them off
But still, they found me
Got no control
I'm spun out on it
Come on and let it out
Take your torches out
We're running steady now
Playing the victim.
