100,000 Candles

(album: Paradise - 2020)

I never needed a lover
I never needed a friend
'Cause when I put myself out there
It seems that I always get fucked in the end
And on the way home
Where I never feel so alone
I never saw a reason why
Anyone would cry while waving to this world goodbye

Why is the world on fire
Why is the world on fire
Why, why is the world on fire
Why is the world on fire

I don't think the world is ending
But there will be an end
And I gotta be honest
I fantasize about it now and again
And only for a moment
I can finally see the forest for the trees
And how they dance for me
Like thousands of candles swaying in the summer breeze

And it seems my anxiety
Has finally gotten the best of me

Why, why is the world on fire
Why is the world on fire
Why, why is the world on fire
Why is the world on fire

My anxiety
Has finally gotten the best of me

I never needed a lover
I never needed a friend
'Cause when I put myself out there (Why, why is the world on fire)
It seems that I always get fucked in the end (Why is the world on fire)

My anxiety
Has finally gotten the best of me

My anxiety (Why, why is the world on fire)
(Why is the world on fire)
Has finally gotten the best of me (Why, why is the world on fire)
(Why is the world on fire)

Why, why is the world on fire
Why is the world on fire
Why, why is the world on fire
Why is the world on fire

Why, why is the world on fire
Why is the world on fire
Why is the world on fire
Fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire...
