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

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
