The world around us is burning
But still, we’re so cold
My thoughts are so concerning
Don’t think for yourself, do as you’re told
That’s what they want, indoctrination
I’m diverting from my lane, seeking salvation
From all of these lies,
Anyone that steps out of line dies
You don’t stop breathing
You’re just left bleeding
Don’t give in to the oppression
You just need a confession
To show them the progression of this session
My depression’s aggression is terrifying
Makes me give in, makes me stop trying
Trying to cure myself from this idea
That I’m alone, and nobody loves me
The sun scorches us all
Some of us stay down, others stand tall
Fighting this intense burning sensation
Some of us are confused,
Others full of concentration
To finish what we started, and that’s life
I don’t care how much it hurts, I’ll survive
Even if all around me burns
I’ll stand tall, even when the sun returns
My head, it’s on fire
You’re a poser, you’re a liar
Because you just can’t see
See past this broken face,
It’s supposed to be me
But I’m not too sure it still is
I don’t like that face of his
It’s sad, angry and he seems confused
And then when finally offered help, he refused
That can’t be me, I’m smarter than that
See what I’m getting at?
This’ll change you
Whether you want to or not
Even more so if you battled and fought
All that’s left is ashes
All that’s left is flashes
Those of the past, almost making me smile
Those visions, they almost make it worthwhile
The happy moments, they’re fading away
They’re all I have left, please stay
In this apocalyptic environment, all is burnt
To be honest we deserved this,
It is earned
Please soak my head in water,
Please drown out this demon
All I’ve been doing is screaming
I’m so cold, so hot, I don’t know what I feel
I’m starting to doubt whether this is real
Maybe they were right, maybe I’m a liar
Maybe I’ll just embrace this open fire
The fire, the one impossible to control
Stuck behind a door, one without a keyhole
Inhaling all the toxic smoke,
And probably my last words I spoke
“For now my demon has consumed me.”
I crash to the ground, at last I’m free
Never wanted to die
Travel up to the heavenly sky
I wanted to be happy here
But that’s impossible, so I disappear
I walk across the frozen road
My forehead hot, seeming to implode
These conflicts in my mind,
I wonder if it’s the same for all of mankind
These doubts, this extreme and constant fear
At least right now I’m being sincere
Want to know how I feel?
It’s right here
Dig a little deeper and it’s crystal clear
All that’s left is ashes
All that’s left is flashes
Those of the past, almost making me smile
Those visions, they almost make it worthwhile
The happy moments, they’re fading away
They’re all I have left, please stay
In this apocalyptic environment, all is burnt
To be honest I deserved this,
It is no less than I earned
The feeling of dread that washes over me
It’s refreshing, at least it would be
If it hadn’t been the same for all this time
Keep getting stuck, don’t know how to rhyme
I just want to tell you of this burning sensation
Without all this hassle, it’s like a cremation
But for now I hide in symbolism and wordplay
Maybe someday I’ll truly explain it all,
Okay?
