Aftermath

Verse:
I'm living in the aftermath, the moment is gone and the laughter's passed
Tearing down every single photograph because I'm never gonna take another look in the past
There's one direction, that's mine, I spin the wheel this time
And I don't give a damn what it lands on, hand's on my heart cos the stars are aligned
I've been faced with a choice that was made for me
Learning my place ain't the way it was meant to be
Taking each day at a time, trying to stay on the grind
But the things that you're saying bring pain to me
It's insane for me to be something I'm not
Avoiding the spiders but still getting caught
Up in the web, but, if you wanted a pet
To sit and play fetch, go get a dog
Shooting for the kill and knowing that you never will
Be hitting the target but regardless it is blood you wanna spill
Making it out to be an art to disregard my heart, still
You're getting off at what is very likely to be the thrill
Of my hurt, my suffering, I'm calling out cos I'm struggling
Every single night I'm covered in sweat, I'm constantly smothering
My screams before they get to breathe
And it seems that you want me to leave
All of the things that piece the beast in me
Cut out my hopes, my aspirations, my dreams
Maybe I don't want stability, money's just a fucking leash
Just gimme enough of that paper till I'm able to scrape up a meal to eat
This sombre life we walk in is just a flash and before you know it, we're gone
So I can't put a cap on the height that my dreams are growing, that shit is all wrong
Maybe the path that I'm walking means that I have to stand on my own
But I can't live my life locked inside of a box, I won't be another drone

Bridge:
What the fuck am I doing here
If I don't act now
Then my soul will disappear
I will not bow
I'ma say it and make it clear
One man in a crowd
I'm not giving in to the fear
I'm gonna burn it all down

Chorus (x2):
Set the world on fire
Watch the flames climb
Chaotic mess inspires
My insane mind
I thrive on death and darkness
And when it's my time
I'll spit in the face
Of anyone coming to take what's mine

Verse:
Why've you gotta judge me and ask me questions as if you're above me?
All these suggestions are starting to bug me
Keep oppressing, you say that you love me
But this impression is looking so ugly
While you were caught up with running my life
Turning me round and you slip in the knife
Taking a look around and maybe you might
Notice the darkness has swallowed the light
And you're alone, just like you wanted me to be
So pick up the phone, compose yourself so neatly
No need to seem so sweet, you see I see through you completely
The seed is planted deep beneath, it's bringing out the beast in me
Now you're asking why, I don't take advice
Cos you know what's right for my life
Despite all the fire and the fight
I know that you can see every single time you look into my eyes
But I ain't gonna be dying by a backhand, never the less the words from your mouth I'm a madman
Every time that I'm moving all I'm making is a bad plan, so what, give up, and that's that?
I put the pistol to my head the moment we said goodbye
I pulled the trigger even quicker and to my surprise
I stood up, took my pulse but I was still alive
Jake was nowhere to be seen, I'm the only one who survived

Bridge:
What the fuck am I doing here
If I don't act now
Then my soul will disappear
I will not bow
I'ma say it and make it clear
One man in a crowd
I'm not giving in to the fear
I'm gonna burn it all down

Chorus (x2):
Set the world on fire
Watch the flames climb
Chaotic mess inspires
My insane mind
I thrive on death and darkness
And when it's my time
I'll spit in the face
Of anyone coming to take what's mine
