Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It begins with a dark glowing ember
Something black burning its way out of me
Searing the flesh
Pain is the only thing I feel, scars all I see
[Verse 2]
Oh no the fire's burning my insides again
What can I do to silence my desire tonight?
Flames consuming reason, leaving only ashes left
You won't catch me regretting my decision
[Verse 3]
I can't keep telling myself
What I wanna to hear (What I wanna hear)
I can't just close my eyes
[Verse 4]
I know that it's killing me
And it's poisoning the best of me
What I say I don't want to believe
So let me tell you boy, tell you boy
About the lies I lead
[Verse 5]
That is how I chose to douse the flames in gasoline
Broken teeth replace the blackout memories in my head
Wreckage from the past, it haunts me, shakes me to the bone
(TO THE BONE)
I know it's over but I can't go home tonight
[Verse 6]
But after this, I feel as empty as the night before
Feel the pain and yet I'm still begging for more
Masochistic, nihilistic, urging backward thoughts
My life's a mess and I can't find a way to fix it
[Verse 7]
I can't keep telling myself
What I wanna to hear (What I wanna hear)
I can't just close my eyes
(Close my eyes, close my eyes, my fucking eyes)
[Verse 8]
I know that it's killing me
And it's poisoning the best of me
What I say (WHAT I SAY)
I don't want to believe (WANT TO BELIEVE)
So let me tell you boy, tell you boy
About the lies I lead
[Verse 9]
Calling, calling out
The darkest reaches of my soul
I'm riddled with self-doubt
Crawling, crawling out
My will to fight will more than suffice
When others would lay down
[Verse 10]
It's only as dark as you make it
[Verse 11]
I know (I KNOW)
That it's killing me (IT'S KILLING ME)
And it's poisoning (IT'S POISONING)
The best of me (THE BEST OF ME)
Hey-hey-hey, what I say (WHAT I SAY)
I don't want to believe (WANT TO BELIEVE)
So let me tell you boy, tell you boy
About the lies I lead (LIES I LEAD)
