Periphery Wildfire Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You take the long way, wrong way to form me
And the time is now
I never would have thought this is the new me
So many people, so many faces left to please around me

You're ready to play dead?
I'm ready to face it, face it
As I'm falling to pieces, the vultures are feasting
We've breached the precipice
Long way down
Now I'll say this
I'm in hell
Passed the mark I've missed

[Verse 2]
Mistakes running through my brain
There's a lesson to be learned and I'll heal again
Bloodstains cover all the walls
I'm the pessimist patient doll

So here I sit like a marionette
Strings on my limbs, rope on my neck
The hell below exists within my bed
Counting every misstep 'till it's time to reset

[Verse 3]
It feels so low, the love I've known
Floating on my own
Forward, back
It's all the same now
This is a one way road

It feels so low, the love I've known
Floating on my own
Slow or fast
It's all the same now
Somebody do it slowly
Kill me slowly
[Chorus]
The past is cutting through me and all the imperfections, they show
Heartbeat haunts me
When all the bad times stick and I don't know what to do with them
I'm burning like wildfire
Take me f*cking out of this hole Heartbeat haunts me
'Cause all the bad times stayed and I don't know what I'm doing here

[Verse 4]
Mistakes coursing through my veins like the heroin needle to the addict's brain
Bloodstains
Hanging from the wall is the pessimist patient doll

So here I sit like a marionette
A slave to thoughts
They're like a weight on my chest
An appetite for neither food nor sex
With a malicious intent, I'll take two to the head

[Bridge]
You put the strings on my limbs
I put the rope on my neck
You put the strings on my limbs
I put the rope around my f*cking neck
You put the strings on my limbs
Now I'm the one with the rope on my neck

[Chorus]
The past is cutting through me and all the imperfections, they show
Heartbeat haunts me
When all the bad times stick and I don't know what to do with them
I'm burning like wildfire

[Pre-Chorus]
(I don't know what I'm doing here)

[Chorus]
The past is cutting through me and all the imperfections, they show
Heartbeat haunts me
When all the bad times stick and I don't know what to do with them
I'm burning like wildfire
Take me f*cking out of this hole
Heartbeat haunts me
'Cause all the bad times stayed and I don't know what I'm doing here
