It begins with a dark glowing ember,
something black burning it's way out of me.
Searing the flesh,
pain is the only thing I feel,
scars all I see.Oh no the fire's burning my insides again,
what can I do to silence my desire tonight?
Flames consuming reason leaving all the ashes left,
you will catch me for regretying my decision,
I can't keep telling myself what I want to hear,
I can't just close my eyes.I know that it's killing me,
and it's poisoning the best of me,
but I see, I don't want to believe.
So let me tell you more,
about the lies I lead.That is how I choose to douse the fire in gasoline,
Broken teeth replace blackout memories in my head,
Wreckage from the past haunts me, shakes me to the floor.
I know it's over but I can't go home tonight.But after this I feel as empty as the night 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.I can't keep telling myself what I want to hear,
I can't just close my eyes.I know that it's killing me,
and it's poisoning the best of me,
but I say, I don't want to believe.
So let me tell you more,
about the lies I lead.Calling, calling out.
The darkness 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.I know that it's killing me,
and it's poisoning the best of me,
but I say, I don't want to believe.
So let me tell you more,
about the lies I lead.Atreyu - Slow Burn
