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
