Living Flame from Sentience by Monosphere

The world is a mess and we are the moths
Biting and fluttering in a frenzied search
For the warmth of a flame

And you were the light I flew towards
You were my sun and stars

But now I see that your love was nothing but heat
A deceitful inferno that burned me alive
In your cruel flames I saw my reflection

An empty shell of who I used to be
Now I am consumed by these ashes of what we had
This burning wreckage is all that remains
Of what was once me

I'll get under your skin
Until I am wrapped around your heart

I may look like I'm compliant
But inside I’m churning

The human psyche is a fragile thing
So easy to break, so easy to mold into whatever shape I desire

They are like clay in my hands
And I love nothing more than watching them squirm
As I twist and turn their minds to my will
It's a delicate dance of manipulation

To see a once proud and confident person
Reduced to a quivering mess
To see the light of hope extinguish in their eyes
A feeling I can't describe

You said enough
Now set me free
Stop acting tough
Now lead the way
