False modesty
It becomes you
Wouldn't dream of it
Would you?
Cold honesty
It betrays you
Shouldn't hurt a bit, but it does

All around you now
Nothing but the ashes
Seem less like lies than ghostly wall-mounted eyes

Flamethrower mouth burning bridges
Didn't think of it
Did you?
Fame promises to await you
Will not miss it for the world
Will you?

All around you now
Nothing but the ashes
Seem less like lies than ghostly wall-mounted eyes
And all around me now
Sparks and amber flashes
Seem more like flies
Why?

False modesty
It becomes you
Would not dream of it
Would you?

All around you now
Nothing but the ashes
Seem less like lies than ghostly wall-mounted eyes
And all around me now
Sparks and amber flashes
Seem more like flies
