lyrics

teacher's pet in a private jet
tracking trends through a critical lens
minor setbacks turn unmanageable
you are courting disaster
chasing the spark

you started the fire
that started the whole world running
unintentional and unbecoming
you burn the place to the ground
years blur by
and you've yet to find your end game
the silent letter in your pen name
never spoken aloud

hired gun for the setting sun
it gets harder to say what's still in your way
when you clear the path out for whatever comes next
you are free as you'll ever be
and the only one left

headlights approach
to set the wild night to grayscale
find a never-ending stairwell
follow it down
sleep through the night
in the comfort of a bed frame
undercover of your pen name
and the shadow of doubt
