AtreyuSlow Burn

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
Oh no the fires burning my insides again
What can I do to silence my desire tonight?
Flames consuming reason
Leaving only ashes left
You will catch me regretting my decision
I can't keep telling myself what I want to hear
I can't just close my eyes
[Chorus]
I know that
It's killing me
And its poisoning the best in me
What I see I dont want to believe
So let me tell you more
About the lies I lead
This is how Ive chosen to douse the flames
Broken teeth replace blackout memories
Wreckage from the past haunts me, shakes me to the bone
I know its over but I cant go home tonight
But after this I feel as empty as before
Feel the pain and yet Im still begging for more
Masochistic nihilistic urging backward thought
My lifes a mess and I cant find a way to fix it
I can't keep telling myself what I want to hear
I can't just close my eyes
[Chorus]
Calling calling out
The darkest reaches of my soul are riddled with self doubt
Crawling crawling out
My will to fight will more than suffice when others would lay down.
Its only as dark as you make it
[Chorus]
