Up in Flames

from Over​-​Garage Demos by Ben Leonard

lyrics

I’ve finally reached the bottom
So many years of crawling down into the darkness
With no end in sight

This journey’s run its course
No reason to reminisce
Content with dissatisfaction
I lay here dying without passion

And if this car crash
Leaves me burning
Don't pull me out
Let me go up in flames
If this water
Keeps me drowning
Don't lift me up
Just wanna leave this place

I don’t need a savior
This martyrdom is bliss
Can’t you see that this is what I’ve always wanted?

Damned from the day of birth
Cursed with great expectations
Without the ability
It’s time for me to be set free

How selfish of you to say
You’d feel better if I stayed
This is not your choice to make

I have no gifts to give
No reason left to live
Forget me, girl, and move on towards greatness

Oh, this is my perfect tragedy
Ruining all the happy memories
Look in your heart and you will see
This was meant to be my destiny
