  • I'm trying to create something that's not there
    A spark I saw as a bomb is just a means to an end
    And I was just so happy to be out of my shell again
    Don't think that I really cared for who or what
    So for now I'll just have to keep it shut

    If you're not ready, you're not ready
    Please stop acting like you are

    And how could I know
    That everything you say are lies
    About devotion and desire?
    And I know the spark
    Inside your eyes was just the match
    I used to set myself on fire

    And my mouth's shooting blanks
    Situation's unbearable
    Gotten vulnerable
    Now anyone is free to waltz right in
    My temple's been invaded and there's nobody guarding it
    All over this lonely life
    But what's so wrong with being all alone?
    Alone's the only way I've ever known

    If you're not ready, you're not ready
    Please stop acting like you are

    And how could I know
    That everything you say are lies
    About devotion and desire?
    And I know the spark
    Inside your eyes was just the match
    I used to set myself on fire

    And I'm pleading
    'Cause this kills and
    It's still bleeding
    My darling
    I'm taking
    My life back to start healing

    And how could I know
    That everything you say are lies
    About devotion and desire?
    And I know the spark
    Inside your eyes was just the match
    I used to set myself on fire

    Set myself on fire Writer/s: Anthony S Raneri, Jack A O'Shea, John Holohan, Nick Ghanbarian
