Lyrics

[00:38.73] Burning down, we can't stop it,
[00:43.90] We gotta get out, start again,
[00:48.08] Our memories are gone forever,
[00:51.76] Don't try to turn this around on me,
[00:57.10] I'm the one that saved you
[01:00.66] This was my own, this was my life
[01:04.23] It's not always just about you
[01:08.42] And as I heard, the sirens begin to chime,
[01:11.86] I can feel my heart begin to race
[01:14.82]
[01:15.73] I can see through the flames that the fire cleanses me,
[01:23.90] Mind and soul, now the same
[01:28.40] And my body guides the way
[01:31.03]
[01:31.72] I feel you up on my shoulder
[01:34.53] Like the angel, like my other
[01:38.80] I'm not your hero,
[01:42.70] I'll never be what you wanted,
[01:46.25] what you thought I would be
[01:48.40]
[01:49.04] I can see through the flames that the fire cleanses me,
[01:57.66] Mind and soul, now the same
[02:02.42] And my body guides the way
[02:05.90] I can see through my tired eyes my sickness controls me
[02:14.20] Deep inside, I know this is the mother of deceit
[02:23.40]
[02:24.44] And they you were,
[02:28.52] 6 years old, ashes in your hair,
[02:33.91] You're not scared; you've seen so much pain in so few years,
[02:42.58] As the world becomes a place where no one wants to stay,
[02:50.47] We remain silent until it's too late,
[02:59.72]
[03:02.73] And as I see the flames that go in the sky,
[03:06.01] I can feel it coming to the end.
[03:08.43]
[03:09.23] I can see through the flames that the fire cleanses me,
[03:17.51] Mind and soul, now the same
[03:21.70] And my body guides the way
[03:25.62] I can see through my tired eyes my sickness controls me
[03:34.52] Deep inside, I know this is the mother of deceit
[03:49.68]
