There is a numbness that's weighing down on us
A wretched gray construction made of our wealth and loss
And to be empty seems like the drug of choice
Against the choices that they offer us

We fail ourselves, crawl and won't stand up
They tell us this is growing up

There is a judgment that they pass down on us
When we become what they are not
Their only weapon is pointed at our hearts
To brand us and to shut us out
And it will hurt and it will scar
And they will make you the loneliest soul in the world
But you'll shine in the fire, my witch on the pyre
Burn into something new

And it will hurt and it will scar
And they will make you the loneliest soul in the world
But you'll shine in the fire, my witch on the pyre
Burn into something new

This is the end of the world
And I know it's the beginning
This is the end of the world
And I know it's the beginning of you

And it will hurt and it will scar
And they will make you the loneliest soul in the world
And you've been hurt and you've been scarred
They tried to make you the loneliest soul in the world
But you shone in the fire, my witch on the pyre
Turned yourself into you
