She thinks I'm Iron Man, that I don't feel pain I don't understand why joy must be feigned I'm so fortunate yet filled with self-hate That the mirror shows me an ingrate I could easily start pointing fingers Since the blame is mine it always lingers That the truth it lies in my reflection Though this can't go on, there's no question Yeah I know that my world is coming down Yeah I know I'm the one who brought it down How quickly pass the days, long is the night Lying in bed awake bathed in starlight Better to live as king of beasts Than as a lamb scared and weak I will deny my role as a human Holding myself hostage with no demands It's better to burn quickly and bright Than slowly and dull without a fight
