Chimera

Sometimes I fall, just to recall

That no one is catching me

Sometimes I run from everyone

Just to save what’s left of me

What’s left of me

And every day is a white lie

I’ve been holding my head high

But it feels like a disguise

Too long letting the heat rise

Covering my eyes

This is a thin line baby

A thin line, a thin line baby

It's time to face me

You have unleashed a chimera

The fire she breathes

It ain’t evanescent

And I think she’s getting a little bit sick

Of the taste of acceptance

I’ll burn your blazing world

Write out for you what I’m worth

I’m not your Teflon girl

So don’t try to break me

If you can't take me, oh

You can find me in the pharaoh’s lighthouse

Taking lives out

Defending my crown

I’m not a fortress for you to cross

When you are lost

You won’t stay standing on my ground

You don't get to sanctify yourself, no

Preaching to me when I didn't ask for help, no

Like I'm another shiny thing up on your shelf, no

I can see through you

I can see through you

Your feigning accomplishments

Arrogance never merited

Call me a heretic

But the evidence, where is it?

You have unleashed a chimera

The fire she breathes

It ain’t evanescent

And I think she’s getting a little bit sick

Of the taste of acceptance

I’ll burn your blazing world

Write out for you what I’m worth

I’m not your Teflon girl

So don’t try to break me

If you can’t take me

Oooh-oh

If you can’t take me

If you can't take me, no

Stepping out of reticence

Liberation from within

Haven't been in hiding since, woah-oh-oh

Listen for the resonance

It’s only a matter of time now

I’m done keeping vigil

In atavistic war

I don’t wanna give love

In silence anymore

Cataclysmic company

Knocking at my door

I will tell them come for me

Let Chimera roar, no
