It’s not enough to simply call someone a liar
When hypocrisy is no disqualifier
And forgiveness leads to driving on flat tires

All the wrong people love themselves
See only mirrors, poison wells

Left to reason out the death of an empire
It’s not enough to hang your shingle out for hire
Feeding flames and bearing witness to the pyre
Let forgiveness wait for rebirth in the fire

All the wrong people love themselves
See only mirrors, poison wells
A matchbook burns in short sustain
But shows in turn a brief refrain:
“You can’t kill me”

All the wrong people love themselves
See only mirrors, poison wells
A matchbook burns in short sustain
But shows in turn a brief refrain
