Going through the motions like in an underselling play

Where you've memorized the lines but you've forgotten what you wanna say

Yeah there's still applause but the meaning of it all just seems to fade

The fire in your chest burnt out maybe half a year ago

But you're too afraid to let anyone down so

You say you still smell smoke and yeah you live the dream

But you've atrophied cause you've been asleep so long

Cause the tinder doesn't catch the way it used to

And the embers are all smothered by the rain

And although you would give anything to feel the searing warmth of an old flame

You've changed

Drowning in an ocean you got stranded in yourself

When you couldn't see how many things you piled on the shelf

And yeah you're still afloat but you don't know toward what shoreline you should row

Cause the tinder doesn't catch the way it used to

And the embers are all smothered by the rain

And although you would give anything to feel the searing warmth of an old flame

You've changed

Strike the match and watch it die

Nothing burns behind your eyes

Hold your head over that ghost of flame

And now you're to blame

Cause the tinder doesn't catch the way it used to

And the embers are all smothered by the rain

And although you would give anything to feel the searing warmth of an old flame

You've changed

Cause the tinder doesn't catch the way it used to

And the embers are all smothered by the rain

And although you would give anything to feel the searing warmth of an old flame

You've changed (You've changed, You've changed, You've changed)

You've changed (You've changed, You've changed, You've changed)

Cause the tinder doesn't catch the way it used to
