Lyrics
Reduce Me To Ashes
How can you just shut it off like you?d switch off a light?
I guess my score?s not high enough to rank me Mr. Right
I don?t fit into your mold, your pre-conceived ideal
You just want what you?ve been sold: media sex appeal
Reduce me to ashes, burn me to the ground
Sentence: fifty lashes, no mercy to be found
Reduce me to ashes, nothing more to say
Rains fall, lightning flashes as my traces wash away
Your agenda forces you to judge me from your side
You want me not for who I am but for what I can provide
I accepted all your faults they?re just a part of you
If you love me love my warts ?cause you?ve got baggage too
Chorus
I resent your sexist ploy to cast me in a role
I won?t be your mindless toy, an object you control
I guess I?m just a loser now, a bug for you to smash
You act like you?re so high brow
You flash your rings and cash
Check this: I?m a human being, there is a person here
I?m not some puppet on a string, a door to hang your mirror
I don?t fit into your mold, your preconceived ideal
You believe what you?ve been told whether or not its real
Chorus
