Wildfire / Zagreus

You take the long way, wrong way to form me And the time is now I never would have thought this is the new me So many people, so many faces left to please around me You're ready to play dead? I'm ready to face it, face it As I'm falling to pieces, the vultures are feasting We've breached the precipice Long way down Now I'll say this I'm in hell Passed the mark I've missed Mistakes running through my brain There's a lesson to be learned and I'll heal again Bloodstains cover all the walls I'm the pessimist patient doll So here I sit like a marionette Strings on my limbs, rope on my neck The hell below exists within my bed Counting every misstep 'til it's time to reset It feels so low, the love I've known Floating on my own Forward, back It's all the same now This is a one way road It feels so low, the love I've known Floating on my own Slow or fast It's all the same now Somebody do it slowly Kill me slowly The past is cutting through me And all the imperfections, they show Heartbeat haunts me When all the bad times stick And I don't know what to do with them I'm burning like wildfire Take me fucking out of this hole Heartbeat haunts me 'Cause all the bad times stayed And I don't know what I'm doing here Mistakes coursing through my veins Like the heroin needle to the addict's brain Bloodstains Hanging from the wall is the pessimist patient doll So here I sit like a marionette A slave to thoughts They're like a weight on my chest An appetite for neither food nor sex With a malicious intent, I'll take two to the head You put the strings on my limbs I put the rope on my neck You put the strings on my limbs I put the rope around my fucking neck You put the strings on my limbs Now I'm the one with the rope on my neck The past is cutting through me And all the imperfections, they show Heartbeat haunts me When all the bad times stick And I don't know what to do with them I'm burning like wildfire (I don't know what I'm doing here) The past is cutting through me And all the imperfections, they show Heartbeat haunts me When all the bad times stick And I don't know what to do with them I'm burning like wildfire Take me fucking out of this hole Heartbeat haunts me 'Cause all the bad times stayed And I don't know what I'm doing here

The prosthetic limbs of social norms are beating us today The burdens we all must hide, or pay for it Transgressions aside Be a martyr for life and everything will be fucking fine Transgressions aside Having the time of our lives Now pay for it and you'll savor every last drop Two as one Fodder for the slaughterhouse Quartered on the killing floor You and I are searching for something Beyond this social condition Fill the ballot and give our permission Over and over Again and again Sort your condition Get down with submission Sort your condition For submission Sort your condition, baby Get down with submission Searching for something beyond this social condition Cast your vote and then move aside Tradition of submission starting from the womb You better watch what you say They always know what's best though Conditioned by their vision Sinking in our tombs The pressure is always there We know… they want what's best though Of course they do I think it's time to stop pointing fingers and start looking inward Measure the cases 'cause it's not right just to generalize Start staring down your life and maybe you'll see things much clearer Imploring what's down in your mind to make an appearance Sort your condition (Sort your condition) Throw it in remission Throw it aside Tradition of submission starting from the womb You better watch what you say They always know what's best though Conditioned by their vision Sinking in our tombs The pressure is always there We know… they want what's best though Will it ever be? Will we ever live in honesty? 'Cause we're falling apart, falling apart, you and I Will it ever be? Will we ever live another day in honesty? 'Cause we're falling apart, right from the start, you and I Will it ever be? Will we ever live in honesty? (Honesty) 'Cause we're falling apart, falling apart, you and I Will it ever be? Will we ever live another day in honesty? (Honesty) 'Cause we're falling apart, right from the start, you and I So paint that picture to sleep at night No regard for another's life We'll be just fine So paint that picture to sleep at night No regard for another's life We'll be just fine, you and I
