transients - Wildfire Lyrics

I've seen the worst of me reflected in your eyes
And I can't reverse that night
No matter how hard I try
Strike a match and watch me burst into flames
Cause I'd rather be ablaze than watch you walk away
I'll drag us both down to hell
Before I deal with the shame
We'll watch the wildfire spread
As we embrace the end
Sometimes I hope I die
Before I find the bottom of the bottle
A life of disappointment and regret
Soon I'll be forgotten
I've ostracised myself for so long I can barely see
The days with my head between your arms
We'd shelter from the rain
I'll take our secrets to the grave
(To the grave)
If guilt was an ocean
I'd be the falling tide
I see your grief stricken face
Every time I close my eyes
I'd give my life today
If it meant you could survive
My demons never satisfied
With the destruction of one life
I've wasted every f*cking chance
Through my obsession with this perverted romance
A sickness rarely recognised
So many suffer but so few survive
I struck that match and watched you burst into flames
Hypnotised by the embers as they started to decay
We lost the battle long before we fought the war
That night the wildfire spread
That night I lost it all
