He’s Igniting

You don’t believe in yourself 

Or any of your dreams

They’re just pictures on the shelf 

With no meaning 

Have you wasted all these years 

Could you just disappear from here?

Disappear from here? 

When will it be 

An escape clean 

From the memories 

Have lasted so long 

You see what you’ve been shown 

Do you wake up alone

Nobody’s home

Nobody’s home 

He’s igniting 

And you’re fighting 

To stand your ground

How many times 

Have you stood by 

And watched them tear

Your world down 

You don’t believe 

In their honesty

Or any of their schemes

They’re just waiting for the rest of you 

To keep as though it was theirs to claim

Well now who do you blame

Who do you blame 

When will they realize 

They cannot just oblige you 

Cannot rip the crimes from your skin

The wound lies deep within 

So where do you begin

Where do you begin 

He’s igniting 

And you’re fighting 

To stand your ground

How many times 

Have you stood by 

And watched them tear

Your world down
