Down in Flames

Blue Stahli

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
