Bonfire of Their Heroes

[Verse 1] He lit the statue Smiled at the flame Dancing in circles Hungry for fame Phone in his fingers Eyes on the view If he can’t build it He’ll burn what you do [Pre-Chorus] Is it envy Is it fear Or just hate for the mirror they see in you here [Chorus] They hate what they’re not So they spit at the sky Throw stones at the ones who learned how to fly They boo every winner Then beg for a throne Tear down every hero to feel less alone It’s the bonfire of their heroes On an empty night ’Cause they can’t stand your daylight on their quiet life [Verse 2] She writes a comment Sharp as a knife Laughing in private Lonely in life Scrolls through your highlights Calling it fake If she can’t get it She’ll call it a mistake [Pre-Chorus] Is it heartbreak Is it pride Or the fear that they wasted their own damn time [Chorus] They hate what they’re not So they spit at the sky Throw stones at the ones who learned how to fly They boo every winner Then beg for a throne Tear down every hero to feel less alone It’s the bonfire of their heroes On an empty night ’Cause they can’t stand your daylight on their quiet life [Bridge] You train You try You sweat You fall (keep going) They laugh They lie They film it all (for showing) They don’t chase dreams They chase a view (for seconds) Then blame the world for what they never do [Chorus] They hate what they’re not So they spit at the sky Throw stones at the ones who learned how to fly They boo every winner Then beg for a throne Tear down every hero to feel less alone It’s the bonfire of their heroes On an empty night But their fire never touches how your star burns bright
