Fire Song Lyrics

The truth comes obscured among countless fears

And a voice full of teeth screaming no

But it burns and screams like a roaring machine

Until my head feels fit to bursting below

They say, "set your life ablaze", never knowing

That a fire once started will bring everything down

And will rage through the night, like a curse, like a blessing

And no one can build a city out of ash

And yet, I feel it still

And yet, I feel its will

Life pins you down, and lovers will be liars

And the demons come disguised as friends

The way everything ends, and desires go unrealised

The smoke soon fills my head

Long for a simple strike instead

Forgive me Father for all I'm about to do

I saw a devil in the darkness and I swear it looked like you

No more can I run and hide

I saw the truth from my shadow side

And you're my fire eater boy

But a taste can't prepare for the blaze that's been raging in my heart for years

For years

For years

For years

So when I lose it all in the fire

Know I'm sorry you got caught in the blaze

When I dropped that match in the gas, watched the chaos

Of an overdue reckoning

Forgive me Father for all I'm about to do

I saw a devil in the darkness and I swear it looked like you

No more can I run and hide

I saw the truth from my shadow side

And you're my fire eater boy

But a taste can't prepare for the blaze that's been raging in my heart for years

For years

For years

For years
