Burning up the streets
Watching the flames eat
Feeding them with my anger
With my pain
Never going back
Fueled by my shame
Tossing away the keys
I'm leaving behind the old me
She's no longer my home
I'm ready to be the riot
Never keeping quite
I'm ready to be insane
Never being tame
Releasing the crazy in me
She's been chained up
Never being able to feed
I have this bloodlust controlling me
And she won't rest, she's too hungry
She'll take your soul
Eat it whole
A smile on her face
But there's no room to care
The fireworks explode
The river runs free
Letting this crazy feeling run through me
Throw my hands up
Tilt my head back
Scream to the sky
Let the stars take me
Laughing tell I cry
Crashing through the flames
Never going back
Never chaining myself that place
I'm on fire
As I tear up the streets
In the dark
