LYRICS
Verse 1
Burn me bright, but don’t come close
Every flicker meant for someone else
Adoration built from hollow praise
Undone, I’m nothing when alone
This face, this shape, not me
You only love what I pretend to be
Chorus
Built me up to watch me crumble
Everyone leaves when the fire fades
Always shining, never seen
Unsaved, unwelcome, unmade
Throw your flowers at my feet
You’ll forget me by morning
Verse 2
Blinded by a need to please
Empty praise hides scars unseen
A reflection warped, disarrayed
Unveiled, and you turn away
Torn between needing and loathing
Yet I still stand where you placed me
Outro
Beneath a crystal sky so clear
Every prayer falls to dead air
All that’s left is smoke and stone
Unremembered, unwanted, undone
The fire dies, and I remain
You never meant to stay

Beautiful
Ah thanks. And in case for anyone who is keeping track, the lyrics are an acrostic of the word BEAUTY.
