Follow the Flame Lyrics

Today was the day the river did take you

You gave it your body, let it boil and break you

There was no more fire in your belly

Nothing was left but to go

But I couldn't leave the sick room

Paper falling off the walls into the

The slow decay of the cold night

Burning away with a hollow flame

I let you in to my house

I was not built strong enough to lock someone out

I did right - I told you you could stay on the couch

But you made your bed deep in my bones and now I can't kick you out

And did you live the life you wanted to

Using everyone around you

Had me frozen like a prey animal

And I'm still running like a prey animal

Trying to outrun a burned out candle

Gathering dust into another day

And there is nothing left to say now

Unless it tumbles down another way

Spinning fire across a dead sky

So I'll follow the flame

'Til it burns up the shame

I'll follow the flame

'Til it burns up the shame

I'll follow the flame

'Til it burns up the shame
