Watch Me Burn

by Silent Theory

/

lyrics

All this venom that speak,
Condescending, No pretending,
Vandalize the weak,
Ask for seconds, no repenting,
Blood in my eyes so I guess it’s okay.
Burn the bridges, let them smolder,
Every sorry sucker looking over their shoulder,
For a little intuition and a lazy superstition,
Just to help this venom with a little exposure,
There’s mud in my veins just to help me get by.
So help me lie.

Chorus:
Now I’m stuck here waiting for the flames to burn me down,
It’s like plucking off the wings of a fly just to watch it drown,
Now my hands are bound, and my head keeps spinning,
If I just keep calm, maybe I’ll keep grinning,
Yeah the haze is thick, but it seems it’s thinning,
And I still can’t see the sun.

When you kick the nest that holds the hornet,
It stings the flesh, a toxin born,
With no regret, absorb the thorn,
Preach the hate, yet beg for more.
Pay for the ways that you help decay,
The shame I can blame but the price to pay,
Is a hefty one, a lonely one,
A violent vigilante with a loaded gun.
It was funny now but then it seemed so fake,
You would think that a fool had a lot at stake,
But tides change, and lies fade,
But I will never go away,
Now I don’t have time to help you get by.
So help me lie.

Chorus

Better pick it up quick,
Better get it now,
This severed chain that I can claim,
What you could never find I found.
Now no one run, he’s got a gun,
They’re shooting kids, they’re having fun,
Their product placed, with a double face,
They’ve changed the way we’ve played the game.
There’s an oversaturation, every desperate situation,
Should we emphasize exposure, maybe place a limitation?
Maybe it’s an epidemic, we’re deserving what we’re getting,
Are we destined for destruction or for reconciliation?

Chorus

Still can’t see the sun (x3)
