A Great Fire

Burning downWe can't stop itWe gotta get outStart againThe memories are gone foreverDon't tryTo turn this around on meI'm the one that saved youThis was my homeThis was my lifeIt's not always just about youAnd as I heardThe sirens begin to chimeI can feel my heart begin to raceI can see through the flamesThat the fire cleanses meMind and soul now the sameAnd my body guides the wayI threw you over my shoulderWith the angelOn my otherI'm not your heroI'll never beWhat you wantedWhat you thought I would beI can see through the flamesThat the fire cleanses meMind and soul now the sameAnd my body guides the wayI can see through my tired eyesMy sickness controls meDeep inside I know trust (I know trust)Is the mother of deceit(Is the mother of deceit)And there you wereSix years old, ashes in your hairYou're not scaredYou've seen so much pain in so few yearsAs the worldBecomes a place where no one wants to stayWe remainSilent until it's too lateAnd as I seeThe planes take over the skyI can feel it coming to the endI can see through the flamesThat the fire cleanses meMind and soul now the sameAnd my body guides the way (and you're burning)I can see through my tired eyes (down my life so slowly)My sickness controls me (I know in my heart)Deep inside I know trust (I know trust)Is the mother of deceit(Is the mother of, is the mother of deceit)
