Doubt reaches out it's mangled hand
In attempts to invade the top soil of my mind
But that bastard doesn't know
That years of wear and tear
Have given my skull an oak like finish
But that bastard doesn't know
My mood will sway like the willows
I gotta remind myself this is only temporary
Part of the ebb and flow
Can't convince you to be on board
I can't convince you to take this journey
Cinders, they have burned
Foundations stand erect
I'm not giving you my time
Not wasting a breath
Is my spine galvanized
To view this love with unbiased eyes
That bastard doesn't know he'll never know, he'll never
My mood will sway like the willows
I gotta remind myself this is only temporary
Part of the ebb and flow
Can't convince you to be on board
I can't convince you to take this journey
And I hope that when you look in the mirror
And a charred mess stares back at you
You don't view these scares as failure
But you wear them as a badge
That indicates an unwavering desire
To not extinguish the flame within you
You didn't let this world extinguish your flame
But instead you opted to set yourself ablaze with it
Don't extinguish yourself
Let them watch you burn
Don't extinguish yourself
Let them watch you burn
Let them watch you burn
Let them watch you burn
Let them watch you burn
