Before my flame is Lyrics

Ever since I was a kid, I only ever wanted to live

The way my heroes seemed to breathe, I only ever wanted to burn

To spend my youth and fiery flame living the things I won't regret

Blazing like a wildfire before I turn to ashes again

But all of the rockstars I wanted to become like

Only seem to fade away or die before

And I don't want to go that way, if I gotta do that

I'd rather explode while I'm still bright and die before

Oh but I don't wanna die, but I don't wanna fade

Like the heroes I liked, and become dry and grey

Like the ones I admired, and become but a shade

But a flame of the past, and I don't wanna die

But if this scary path will be the only one

That is left, I would rather die young

Than become old and grey

I'd rather burn out than fade away

Oh I just wanna scream like Janis

Strum it on a guitar like Hendrix

Die with my demons like Elvis

It's better than letting die my raging

Oh I just wanna cry like Janis

Burn like a guitar, like Hendrix

Dying with my demons like Amy

I'd rather be dead before my flame is

All of the rockstars are but sparkles

Shining in a lone night, I wanna be the brightest

I wanna be the only one that people remember

A sun in the ocean, an ocean in a black hole

Living like a race car on a highway, full throttle on the pedal with no high brake

Faster and faster as I be rising, closer and closer to the scarp, yeah

I wanna be free now, tell me why wait? No time to lose asking if I'm on the right way

Out of the blue, into black again, I never felt so alive so close to my death

Oh but I don't wanna die, but I don't wanna fade

Like the heroes I liked, and become dry and grey

Like the ones I admired, and become but a shade

But a flame of the past, and I don't wanna die

But if this scary path will be the only one

That is left, I would rather die young

Than become old and grey

I'd rather burn out than fade away

Oh I just wanna scream like Janis

Strum it on a guitar like Hendrix

Die with my demons like Elvis

It's better than letting die my raging

Oh I just wanna cry like Janis

Burn like a guitar, like Hendrix

Dying with my demons like Amy

I'd rather be dead before my flame is
