Lay In Flames

you left me here
to rought die and fear
and im falling even more
can't save me this time
no, not this time

like a drug, like a pill
it was fun at first
it wasn't real
but the side effects
have taught me well

i'm cold and alone
you left me in an abandoned home
but i found a match and some gas
now watch this place, turn to ash

don't feel any remorse
just like you
can't feel anymore
i hate you

like a drug, like a pill
it was fun at first
it wasn't real
but the side effects
have taught me well
leave me alone
go to hell

maybe i'll lay in the flames
while the smoke takes me away
maybe i'll breathe in carbon, instead of oxygen
and watch the world start to swirl
as my lungs start to swell
maybe i'll meet you in hell

like a drug, like a pill
it was fun at first
it wasn't real
but the side effects
have taught me well
leave me alone
go to hell

like a drug, like a pill
it was fun at first
it wasn't real
but the side effects
have taught me well
