Flames And Fire

Lies are a bill you pay later And they might make you a traitor Cut your nose to spite your face But you have surely lost this race In your hands you held a life That you chose to give nothing but strife So now you want to play messiah But in reality you're just a pariah Look at all of those who walked away A social circle dwindled to nothing today And you keep running but keep falling From the bevy of sins we find appalling You put up walls, dilapidated walls Destined and damned to fall If you present a D to evil it becomes the devil And now for you that's just a lost level Because you fail to measure up to your grade And now from all sides you face the shade And now you see lies are a bill you pay later But it still hurts my heart to call you a traitor Lies rely on more lies to get by to get high To fly and soar and sigh and ask why You wasted your chance to be a messiah And now you're just a pathetic pariah Who peddled falsities like a liar Now you face the flames and fire
