Immolation of Self lyrics

I'm burning at both ends Ignited by fear of the unknown consequence And there ain't much time Suppressing all these sirens inside Something's gotta give I'm wearing out faster than I'd like to admit The strength comes with a cost A force of nature, I'll self destruct I've grown averse to releasing my grip Before I let my promises slip away I've come to know myself Despite the misconceptions of everybody else What belies the truth? Can I even digest what I consume? I guess it only makes sense When the memory hits in present tense Not facing outcomes and oppositions I deny my fate I am a liar, creating a monster A force of this nature Just strike me back down Like kits in a storm cell Torn from hands we once held I'm caught up in this hell Just strike me back down Drop the hammer, swing the mace I am a weapon, sharp as a blade Burning still, caught up within this hell Immolation of self Immolation of self Breathe in Immolation of self Breathe in the ash I am a liar, creating a monster A force of this nature Just strike me back down Like kits in a storm cell Torn from hands we once held I'm caught up in this hell Just strike me back down I drag my idols behind me in vain I'll burn while descending At peace with the ending A selfish reminder To strike me back down
