Burn Me Alive
It's like losing your virginity to a whore
It's like losing your serenity to a war
It's like losing your mind to a god who's fake
It's like losing your time to a job you hate
It's like losing your religion at your baptism
Like losing your heart the moment it matters most
Like losing your hope when it's all you had left
Like losing your rope when you fall into depths
Of despair. And this here is the truth
About loss and the cost we must pay karma off
Like a shark for a loan that we make when we win
For a price that's a life he will take in the end
In the end it's like losing your identity to more
Ahead are two doors: Life and Death. Choose yours
Like losing your rhythm in the middle of a song
Like losing your nerve while on stage
Something's wrong
Like losing your sleep over things you can't change
Like losing a toy you enjoyed as a child
See the shape. See the form and its function
Sour grapes they are warm and something quite pungent
Fuck 'em! Pluck 'em! Take the time to make wine
Pour a glass for an ass, cast pearls at swine
Burn me alive! Burn me alive!
You're my perfect match begging me to strike you
Burn me alive! Burn me alive!
Douse me in alcohol. Let's have a ball
Burn me alive! Burn me alive!
You're my perfect match begging me to strike you
Burn me alive! Burn me alive!
Douse me in alcohol. Let's have a ball... of flames!
Of flames!
Of flames!
Skeletons in my closet are all well dressed
For a funeral wearing their Sunday's best
Mindless men are merely meat
Very sweet to carnivores who surely eat
I'm Dorian Gray. My portrait displays
A morbidly distorted face, so I've stored it away
The more I scream, the less you hear
The more you're present, the less you're here
You put me in numerous cells. It's tumorous
I laugh at the pain. I've struck my humerus
Who is this clown wearing the mask of the serious?
I ask cause I'm curious
When your body became a grave for your soul
When the flesh became the chains that hold
When your bones became bars, gravity a lock
Who will help the cuckoo fly the coop up out its clock?
Burn me alive! Burn me alive!
You're my perfect match
Begging me to strike you
Burn me alive! Burn me alive!
Douse me in alcohol
Let's have a ball
Burn me alive! Burn me alive!
You're my perfect match
Begging me to strike you
Burn me alive! Burn me alive!
Douse me in alcohol
Let's have a ball... of flames!
Of flames!
Of flames!
Of flames!
I hear the jackals laugh and cackle
That once you're a star, you have no shadow
When it's all over, we will supernova
Collapse on the point we've made... perhaps so
Become a black hole. Take it all in
Nothing escapes the gravity of the situation
Now that's power from within, my friend
And it happens in a vacuum that has no end
Perhaps you'll relapse, addicted to life
Afraid to be released, convicted for life
There's something calm in me before I storm
There's something cold in me getting warm
No longer the warmonger you conjured in me
A core stronger, more monster than you forewarned I'd be
Come as you are
Come out to play
I come from the stars
Come come now
Come as you are
Come out to play
I come from the stars
Come and see
Come come now
Come as you are
Come out to play
I come from the stars
But stars burn forever
But stars burn forever
But stars burn forever
But stars burn forever
Ever and ever
It's like losing your serenity to a war
It's like losing your mind to a god who's fake
It's like losing your time to a job you hate
It's like losing your religion at your baptism
Like losing your heart the moment it matters most
Like losing your hope when it's all you had left
Like losing your rope when you fall into depths
Of despair. And this here is the truth
About loss and the cost we must pay karma off
Like a shark for a loan that we make when we win
For a price that's a life he will take in the end
In the end it's like losing your identity to more
