By The Flames

Consumed by the flames By the flames Start the fire, I need you to feel this As high as it can go, I need to feel it Light the fire, you want me to feel this We want to see how high we can go We want to be consumed by the flames Take a risk, make a wish Until then, stay cool After this, you will never be the same This isn't right, I close my eyes Prepare myself for the falling sky I caused so much harm, I don't know why I've had my lows, I had my highs I did my best, now I return With a clean slate and a lesson learned I've been mocked, betrayed and scorned But now I know everything can burn Consumed by the flames Take aim Take blame Play games Cause pain Call names Make claims Suppressing feelings, I'm going numb I can't eat, sleep or see where your coming from I try to excite myself, lust and near death's never help I accept death and damn life and the hand I'm dealt I've ignored the truth, avoided responsibility But it's in the back of my mind kicking constantly Now it's time do pay my do's I'm through with tries I refuse to come back with a consolation prize Consumed by the flames Be tamed Break chains Disclaim Proclaim Insane No shame Turn it up, let them watch Turn me out, I can't be stopped Nowhere else to go, carrying my woes Turning into someone I don't even know Just paying back everything I owe I've come this far, so I've come this far Let the flames consume me In vain Fast lane Life's strain Constrain Left brain Profane I should have listened But hear me now
