Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Blacked out

Pop queen, amphetamine

The screams crashed into silence

[Verse 2]

Tapped out

Doused in the gasoline

The high times going timeless

[Verse 3]

Decadence

Death of the innocence

The pathway starts to spiral

[Verse 4]

Infamy

All for publicity

Destruction going viral

[PreChorus]

Light it up

Ah, light it up

Another hit erases all the pain

Bulletproof

Ah, kill the truth

You're falling, but you think you're flying high

High again

[Chorus]

Sold your soul

Built a higher wall

Yesterday

Now you're thrown away

Same rise and fall

Who cares at all?

Seduced by fame

A moth into the flame

[Verse 5]

Twisted

Backstabbing wicked

The delusion absolution

[Verse 6]

Perjurer

Fame is the murderer

Seduce you into ruin

[PreChorus]

Light it up

Ah, light it up

Another hit erases all the pain

Bulletproof

Ah, tell the truth

You're falling, but you think you're flying high

High again

[Chorus]

Sold your soul

Built the higher wall

Yesterday

Now you're thrown away

Same rise and fall

Who cares at all?

Seduced by fame

A moth into the flame

Burn

[Verse 7]

Guarantee your name, you go and kill yourself

The vultures feast around you still

Overdose on shame and insecurity

If one won't do that fistful will

[Verse 8]

Death scene

Black hearse the limousine

A grave filled with seduction

[Verse 9]

Vaccine

Fame does the murdering

She builds up for destruction

[PreChorus]

So light it up

Ah, light it up

Another hit erases all the pain

Bulletproof

Ah, no excuse

You're falling, but you think you're flying high

High again

[Chorus]

Sold your soul

Built the higher wall

Yesterday

Now you're thrown away

Same rise and fall

Who cares at all?

Seduced by fame

A moth into the flame

[Outro]

Addicted to the

Fame
