Consumed by a fire
That burns for every single breath
Every single beat
Of every heart
Fending off death

Not the death by an accident
A ******
One's age
Death by suicide
Walking into the Devil's cage

You think everything's fine
When in reality you're dying
What you need is to quit shying
Away from the one who's been prying

Into your heart
The depths of your being
Only to save you
From the death that's been clinging

Each act cleverly placed
Your motivation erased
So that you would stop the chase
And fall flat on your face

But you make sure
That you land on your knees
Right at the feet
Of the one who set you free
