False modesty

It becomes you

Wouldn't dream of it

Would you?

Cold honesty

It betrays you

Shouldn't hurt a bit, but it does

All around you now

Nothing but the ashes

Seem less like lies than ghostly wall-mounted eyes

Flamethrower mouth burning bridges

Didn't think of it

Did you?

Fame promises to await you

Will not miss it for the world

Will you?

All around you now

Nothing but the ashes

Seem less like lies than ghostly wall-mounted eyes

And all around me now

Sparks and amber flashes

Seem more like flies

Why?

False modesty

It becomes you

Would not dream of it

Would you?

All around you now

Nothing but the ashes

Seem less like lies than ghostly wall-mounted eyes

And all around me now

Sparks and amber flashes

Seem more like flies
