lyrics

And all I heard was
Just a sharp violent noise
Then a silence so deafening
You lit the fire
And then you watched it burn
Begging for help as you screamed

It’s all just for show but you’ll never give it up

You and all your theatrics
Behavior; erratic
You seem to burn every bridge you know
you’re poised for attack
Your energy; jet black
But this is a lesson on letting go

Give it up!

You’ve lost all reason
Compassion
Your empathy
Thrive on denial
deception and of course, greed
there’s no convincing you
That you’ve warped reality
Twisting the narrative
To fit what you need it be
See?!

You and all your theatrics
Behavior; erratic
You seem to burn every bridge you know
You’re poised for attack
Your energy; jet black
But This is a lesson on letting go

You are the fire
Consuming everything
Setting the city ablaze
Dead stuck in your ways
Dead stuck in your…
Cold blooded liar
Preach to your choir
can’t stack the bodies much higher
Your mouth’s a funeral pyre
Give it up
Give it up

You and all your theatrics
Behavior; erratic
You seem to burn every bridge you know
You’re poised for attack
Your energy; jet black
This is a lesson on letting go
