I Lit a Fire

I lit a fire

To keep away the night

I lit a fire

To make this darkness seem bright

I lit a fire

But none of the wrongs, none of the wrongs they turned right

But I lit a fire in the middle of the night

My little fire

It was burning too fast

My little fire

I knew it could never last

But I lit this fire throwing all I had on the pile

While the night still came with a cruel mocking smile

All my dreams turn to nightmares

A lonesome stream, you yell at me no one's out there

So I'm drowning while you laugh at me

Hysterically, my closest friend and enemy

I thought you would make me warm

I thought you would keep me safe

But with you you brought a storm

And I lie waiting for my fate

I thought you would make me warm

I thought you would keep me safe

But with you you brought a storm

And I lie waiting for my fate

The stars were hiding

And my hand was dealt

The moon wasn't smiling

And I needed help

All my dreams turn to nightmares

A lonesome stream, you yell at me no one's out there

So I'm drowning while you laugh at me

Hysterically, my closest friend and enemy

All my dreams turn to nightmares

A lonesome stream, you yell at me no one's out there

So I'm drowning while you laugh at me

Hysterically, my closest friend and enemy

I thought you would make me warm

I thought you would keep me safe

But with you you brought a storm

And I lie waiting for my fate

I thought you would make me warm

I thought you would keep me safe

It's not true you are the storm
