Lyrics

Wildfire

[Verse 1]

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

[Bridge]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

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

[Guitar Solo]

[Breakdown]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Instrumental Bridge/Saxophone Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]

(I don't know what I'm doing here)

[Chorus]

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

[Instrumental Outro]
