lyrics

You smash the hand that needs you, you quench the burning wick
You never do the right thing, you always do the trick

CHORUS:
You keep on piling branches onto the fire
Your toehold’s slipping quickly up on the high wire

You’re passionate and perfect, that’s what I’m always told
But when you look in the mirror, you feel like you’ve been sold

REPEAT CHORUS

They made you into something you didn’t wanna be
A goddess they could worship and blame for their misery

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE
There at your vanity table
Thinking that love’s just a fable
You’re getting sick of your label
But no one’ll ever be able to tell

You leave a trail of bodies, and they’ve left their scars on you
But part of you is screaming for a new debut

REPEAT CHORUS
