Today is the first day of my life
I threw the match, set it all alight

We'll sit and watch it burn
I see nothing in your eyes
Are you impressed?
(Are you impressed?)

Last night was the last night of that life
Where I pretend that I don't care
I don't have dreams, so I can't fail
Now I am not afraid to say
(I'm terrified I'll fail)

I set myself on fire (just to see)
If I could get your respect, would you
Would you bow down to me?

I set myself on fire (now I see)
That we need to feed the hand
The hand that feeds

Come sit and watch it burn
Hope with flames comes rebirth
But I won't hold my breath
