You Are Not Alone (feat. Lora Mathis & The Body)

They've cast me in the movie of my life as myself
And keep trying to write me happy
They say, "We want to make relatable characters
People don't pay for stories that make them uncomfortable."
I say, "Do what you want,
But the scenes people will talk about
Are when the soundtrack is swelling
And the audience is watching through their fingers,"
As I flick matches from my tongue and ask,
"You wanna see a trick?"
Watch how I can make myself burn
Then dance on the ashes like it's nothing
Like I was born of burning
Like this is every day
