[Intro]
It begins with a dark, glowing ember
Something black burning its way out of me
Searing the flesh, pain is the only thing I feel
Scars all I see
[Verso 1]
Oh, no, the fire's burning my insides again
What can I do to silence my desire tonight?
Flames consuming reason, leaving only ashes left
You will catch me regretting my decision
[Pre Coro]
I can't keep telling myself what I want to hear
I can't just close my eyes
[Coro]
I know that it's killing me
And it's poisoning the best in me
What I see, I don't want to believe
So let me tell you more, tell you more
About the lies I lead
[Verso 2]
That is how I chose to douse the flames in gasoline
Broken teeth replace the blackout memories in my head
Wreckage from the past that haunts me, shakes me to the bone
I know it’s over, but I can’t go home tonight
But after this, I feel as empty as before
Feel the pain and yet, I’m still begging for more
Masochistic, nihilistic, urging backward thought
My life’s a mess and I can’t find a way to fix it
[Pre Coro]
[Coro]
[Puente]
Calling, calling out
The darkest reaches of my soul are riddled with self doubt
Crawling, crawling out
My will to fight will more than suffice when others would lay down
It’s only as dark as you make it
