Before my flame is

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
