This world is going to burn,
But not the way you envisioned.
Just know that when your cities fall,
That this was your decision.
Asking for forgiveness isn't what it was,
No matter how hard you try,
You will never regain their trust.
Tell me apologies are a must,
When all you ever do is curse them.
And drag them through the dirt,
Like the way you dragged them down.
Burning has no sound,
When no one's around to hear it.
The pain must be searing,
The passing on endearing.
When you're gone, they'll have no words.
No emptiness inside.
Not a nickel for all the times,
You made one of them cry.
Nowhere left to run, nowhere left to hide,
There are no more words,
No emptiness inside.

This world is going to burn,
But not the way you envisioned.
Just know that when your cities fall,
That this was your decision.
Asking for forgiveness isn't what it was,
No matter how hard you try,
You will never regain their trust.
Tell me apologies are a must,
When all you ever do is curse them.
And drag them through the dirt,
Like the way you dragged them down.
Burning has no sound,
When no one's around to hear it.
The pain must be searing,
The passing on endearing.
When you're gone, they'll have no words.
No emptiness inside.
Not a nickel for all the times,
You made one of them cry.
Nowhere left to run, nowhere left to hide,
There are no more words,
No emptiness inside.
