The people who want to live life for it's worth
The kind of people who take on depression and all for self blame
But the rarest of all the people who just want to watch the world go up in flames

They all have something that is the same
They’re all insane
No one can see why the act the way they do
It all seems confusing to me and you

I take interest in the rare
I could sit and take in their stare
And ask why
You don’t care if people die

Not even for your own
What can be shown
To me from you
Why do you do what you do?

I don’t think I can blame
The people who watch the world go up in flames
Think of it this way, we missed the start if our eyes saw it would be sin
But I could die if my eyes where to miss the end

To see the end of it all to see it all go up in flames
That’s why some people just want to see it all burn
And say to hell with human thought and concern
