Ann-Marita - Pyromaniac

〈Verse 1〉
You're the king of your fleeting universe
An actor with your lines perfectly rehearsed
And on with the show
You feast on people's brittle hopes and dreams
As you turn 'em into pawns in your own scheme like no one's gonna know
Then you hold them hostage, rob them blind
Of power and will and peace of mind
And you cover your ass and your tracks with another veil of lies

〈Chorus〉
There you go
Basking in the smoke and mirrors that is your life story
There you go
All the way around the transparency of your imagined glory
There you go
Clutching at a straw that already broke the camel's back
Burning bridges like a pyromaniac

〈Verse 2〉
You read people like roadside billboard signs
Scan through 'em until one catches your eye
Then you take aim
A chameleon becomes whatever's needed
Create your story and everyone believes it
So damn good at this game
'Cause you're a hypnotist, an inducer of trends
You push the buttons to make everyone dance
Feedin' your endless hunger until the the new wears off
〈Chorus〉
There you go
Basking in the smoke and mirrors that is your life story
There you go
All the way around the transparency of your imagined glory
There you go
Clutching at a straw and already broke the camel's back
And burning bridges like a pyromaniac

〈Bridge〉
There's a trail of carnage and broken lives
You've exhausted this town and you loan your disguise
You'll never stop running until 〈.?.〉
'Cause your soul is as deep as your chameleon skin
You know, there's nothin' but empty space within
So your body is simply a getaway vessel
And your only friend is the treachery of the lie

〈Chorus〉
There you go
Basking in the smoke and mirrors that is your life story
There you go
All the way around the transparency of your imagined glory
There you go
Clutching at a straw that already broke the camel's back
And burning bridges
Yeah, burning bridges
Burning bridges like a pyromaniac
〈Outro〉
Like a pyromaniac
Ooh, oh
Ooh
