No time to waste, gonna be late for fate You know what they say ’bout bright flames Gonna burn out, they gonna replace you Replicate, AI generate you

No time to waste, gonna be late for fate You know what they say ’bout bright flames Gonna burn out, they gonna replace you Replicate, AI generate-

I don’t know the things I wanna say until I say it I hate it till I play it, up on stage And see your faces Let go of the reigns now, my whole brain’s a one man circus This has to be my fate, it’s my only sense of purpose

Make it a character You’re her, but you’re not her No you can’t take a day, you’re our brightest flame No you can’t change your name, you’re our brightest flame

Woah

I don’t know which way to go, so I continue forward The pure and utter horror, realising I left me behind I’m lonelier than ever, but I guess that’s for the better Time to kill and bills to pay, and plenty things to write I’m just a little not myself lately Too late to contemplate, you chose your fate

Maybe I should Make it a character You’re her, but you’re not her No you can’t take a day, you’re our brightest flame No you can’t change your name, you’re our brightest flame No you can’t take a day, you’re our brightest flame No you can’t change your name, you’re our brightest- Flame

Oooh!

I’m done, I’ve just begun Why am I burning out? Did I fly too close to the sun? Why am I burning out? It was just starting to get fun Why am I slowing down? Why am I burning out? Why am I burning It’s burning

No time to waste, gonna be late for fate I know what they say ’bout bright flames Gonna burn out, they gonna replace me Replicate, AI generate me

Gotta keep up, I’m eating my own dust Don’t know what to do or to trust Gonna burn out, they gonna replace me Replicate, AI generate

No time to waste, gonna be late for fate I know what they say ’bout bright flames Gonna burn out, they gonna replace me Replicate, AI generate me

No time to waste, gonna be late for fate I know what they say ’bout bright flames Gonna burn out, they gonna replace me Replicate, AI generate-

I don’t know which way to go, so I continue forward The pure and utter horror, realising I left me behind

I could write a thousand songs about it all I’ve just begun Now I can’t stop Lose your mind Stay who you’re not But the brightest of flames Burn half as long
