This song is written about those who would fake illness or tragedy for the attention of another.

lyrics

Embers rise to meet me
The air, it shudders from the heat
Which pales in comparison
To your hands on me

And as we dance, go round & round
It would seem that happiness was found
In a place you'd never expected
You picked up the pieces but then threw them & wrecked it

[SO DON'T TELL ME]
That you're a victim and you needed attention
[BECAUSE TRUST ME]
None of your fallacies ever made an exception
I watch you bleed
Through bandaged eyes
And although it's tearing me up inside
I cannot help what won't help itself
My hands are tied
As I stoke the fire

Embers rise to meet me
This time the air itself is still
And when I close my eyes your
Hands are gone as well
And in this scene
What's lost in strife
Has brought imagination back to life
It's a shame that you'll never bear witness
To the powers at hand and the changes that did this

[SO DON'T TELL ME]
That you're a victim and you needed attention
[BECAUSE TRUST ME]
None of your fallacies ever made an exception
I watched you bleed
Through bandaged eyes
And although it's tearing me up inside
I cannot help what won't help itself
My hands are tied
So please save yourself
