The drama, detention, suspension of disbelief

The constant attention offers you no relief

Your pain is not special, sentence is soaked in deceit

It's inconsequential and you sing so sweetly



We all hurt the same

Convince them completely

The fires you light rise straight to the heavens



She said to me

Darling well please don't be so naive

You could burn like a constellation

But don't go before I leave



You're poised and you're perfect, face of the fallen destroyed 

Call out and curse it and everything else you avoid

Your comets burn brighter but you still feel the sting

They lift up their lighters and sing so sweetly



We all hurt the same

Can never defeat me

The words you sing rain down like the heavens



She said to me

Darling well please don't be so naive

You could burn like a constellation

But don't go before I leave



You can fool yourself 

And maybe someone else like me

And if you're anyone's salvation

Then there's nothing left for me



She said to me

Darling well please don't be so naive

You could burn like a constellation

But don't go before I leave



You can fool yourself 

And maybe someone else like me

And if you're anyone's salvation

Then there's nothing left for me



The fires you light rise straight to the heavens
