Incinerate Me

I face death with my eyes closed,
Curled up in the crematorium.
Wings of darkness,
They embrace me,
As I fall into
The abyss again.

High up on the tower,
I look down and see my destruction.
When the wind blows,
I cower,
As my mind ceases to function.

I'm a pale ghost of who I used to be,
Afraid to live my life,
Slipping deeper into insanity,
Balanced on the edge of a knife.

Incinerate me!
Make me pure again,
Break me down
Down
Down!
Then resurrect me
From the ashes
So I can burn you to the ground!

Tell me how you want me,
Bloody raw
Or well done.
Lock me in the shadows,
Then hold me up
To the sun.

Scream again in my ears now,
Keep spitting in my face.
Tell me you love me,
Hate me,
Don't want me.
Put me in my f***ing place.

We are all ghosts in my memory,
A magic mirror life.
Long-forgotten timeless melody:
Grow strong through pain and strife.

Incinerate me!
Make me pure again,
Break me down
Down
Down!
Resurrect me
From the ashes
So I can burn you to the ground!
Burn you to the ground!

Wander on yonder,
Tempted by the dark side,
All through the Underworld
To the land of the sunrise.
Take me there,
A far away place:
Just right here
In time and space,
Instead of the buzz behind my eyes.

Incinerate me!
Make me pure again,
Break me down,
Down,
Down!
Then resurrect me
From the ashes
So I can burn you to the ground!

Liberate me,
Make me whole again,
Remind me how to fly!
I'm exploding,
Supernova!
Born again,
I cannot die!
I cannot die!
