I Would Set Myself On Fire For You - Nine lyrics

If my younger self could see what I've become It would break his heart and he would say to me "But someday when I grow up I'll be somebody, you'll see And no one can take that from me" "But someday when I grow up I'll be somebody, you'll see And no one can take that from me" And we always said this wouldn't be us And we always said this shouldn't be us And we always said this couldn't be us And we always said this wouldn't be.... But I'm standing here now at twenty f**ing two And everything that I believe is slipping from my grasp My faith in my self, my faith in this world My faith that everything would work out in the end Don't find our faults, find us a remedy You're two completely different pieces intersecting underneath With such violent tribulation: a hull dividing frothing seas Does that siren sing so sweetly, 'run your ship ashore for me So that I may sink my teeth into their newest make-shift sheath Yes, it's been crafted, cratered Created in my skin, no worse place Now I'm marked with that beastly insignia, I'm of acidic scent and taste With wet, urgent, needy yearning the pack's outcast is easy prey To have purged loyalty and penned new contract, oh, I have made a great mistake [Repeat x2:] Ye woe, Back to the house that raised me Where I find strange constructions in what once were quiet places Retreat now to the town of aging But our sense of out-step-treading here is worse than we've escaped As I lay me down to sleep It's time to realize all my dreams Because I may die before I wake And I won't... As I lay me down to sleep It's time to realize all my dreams Because I may die before I wake And I won't leave here a waste [Repeat x18:] What is the point of saving my name in this town? (What is the point of saving my name in this town?)
