Wildfires / Self-Reflection Lyrics

I'm not the person I say I am

If you think I'm great it's all just a sham

I try to be humble but I take too much pride

My ego is huge and it's fueled by this high

I judge other people based on what's inside

I see myself in others that cross my life

It's all about me and what you shouldn't be

Too sensitive to the qualities inside

Burn my forest to the ground

Wildfires please surround

It's hard to let these feelings free

In a society that lacks integrity

I take too much pride in creativity

But creativity is the antithesis to anxiety

Burn my forest to the ground

Wildfires please surround

Burn my forest to the ground

Wildfires please surround

Burn my forest to the ground

So one side tells me to cool my pride

But my ego may just keep me alive

Heard about you on Christmas Day

Four years ago you felt the pain

I couldn't believe you went that way

Burn my forest to the ground

Wildfires please surround

We fought each other as mortal enemies

Bitter from hate from myself came rushing towards you in a blaze

You were just another human

Dealing with his own anxiety

But I didn't care

I only cared for myself

Treated you as if you didn't even matter

But now as I deal with my own anxiety I understand

My ego may keep me alive but it may also have killed a man
