It's a dark and lonely winter
You say "this hell's never felt so cold"
Yet there's the faintest smell of cinders
And a truth yet to be told
And a sound surrounds your secret
Something I've heard, but can't yet see
Like whispers in the twilight
The secret now revealed to me
It's a flame
Burning just behind your eyes
I'm praying for rain
But nothing will put out these fires
That burn and blaze
Wait
Let's not forsake all these years
If you'd just stay
There's so much truth still to hear
And I'll listen all night
To your hopes and every fear
I won't say it's alright
These things always end in tears
You're fanning the flame
And everything is catching fire
The things that you hate
And everything that you desire
Are one and the same
Running to escape this pyre
And cover the shame
Hiding just behind your eyes
Through green and grey
We turn, turn with hearts on fire
We feel it inside
We're steeling to die
To burn, burn what we conspire
We cast it aside
To keep us alive (There's a flame)
We turn, turn with hearts on fire
We feel it inside
We're steeling to die (Those things that you hate)
To burn, burn what we conspire
We cast it aside
You're fanning the flame
We feel it inside
We're steeling to die
We cast it aside
To keep us alive (There's a flame)
And everything is catching fire
The things that you hate
And everything that you desire
Are one and the same
We turn, turn with hearts on fire
Running to escape this pyre
And cover the shame
To burn, burn what we conspire
Hiding just behind your eyes
Through green and grey
We feel it inside
We're steeling to die (Those things that you hate)
We cast it aside
To keep us alive
There's a flame
