Set fire

To an icon

Set fire

To the lie

Set fire

Bid farewell

I'll be a martyr to myself

Where do I go

If every turn there's a vulture waiting

To pick at my bones

And bury me alive

My lungs are whitewashed

A million thoughts on the tip of my tounge

I can't keep hiding

My guts in tight knots

Abandon who I've become,

Or fight for what's inside me?

Set fire

To an icon

Set fire

To the lie

Set fire

Bid farewell

I'll be a martyr to myself

Where do I go

If every turn there's a vulture waiting

To pick at my bones

And bury me alive

It's me against the world

I feel their claws sinking in

As the life spirals out from my inner self

Let the earth where I carved my name

Burn

Set fire

To an icon

Set fire

To the lie

Set fire

Bid farewell

I'll be a martyr to myself

Where do I go

If every turn there's a vulture waiting

To pick at my bones

And bury me alive

Where do I go

If every turn there's a vulture waiting

To pick at my bones

And bury me alive

It's me against the world
