Down in Flames

Shame

Wear the pity and the blame

Basking in the glow

A lovely crown of thorns

Cliche

Overdramatic display

An unwelcome show

Of steady undertow

You'll make 'em watch while you go down in flames

Self-inflicted pretty little martyr

If forcing empathy

Is as clever as you can be

We'll gladly watch while you go down in flames

Burn baby burn

Vain

You're the Abel and the Cain

No coincidence

you crave an audience

Stray

Committed to the decay

Fake mercy pose

And on and on it goes

You'll make 'em watch while you go down in flames

Self-inflicted pretty little martyr

If forcing empathy

Is as clever as you can be

We'll gladly watch while you go down in flames

Burn baby burn
