Down İn Flames

It's not the pain I'm used to itI'ts feeling like I'm already deadI see from the ceiling a misty spiritRising from a place in my headAnd I never even get to go downDown in flamesI said friend you have a life to seeWhy do you scare me so?All the suffering's a mystery to meI can't even pretend to knowSo you'll never even get to go downDown in flamesWe had plans to explore the starsBe rejected by stage door guardsMining for gold as the time unreelsNot stifling behind suburban wheelsNot stifling behind suburban wheelsThe plan was too burn up when the air was clearWe'd all wear our visors downAn arcwelder spark in the atmosphereNot this man-sized hole in the groundNow your father's face is frozen between anger and tearsYour mother's hair's amazingly grayAnd I'm seeing these friends for the first time in yearsIt's icicle reunion dayAnd you never even got to go downDown in flamesYou never even got to go downDown in flames.
