lyrics

THROUGH THE FLAMES

FORGET ABOUT THE ROSES AND THE LIGHT UPON THE DOOR
IF ANYTHING MEANS NOTHING THEN IT NEVER WAS BEFORE
TOMORROW I’LL BE LEAVING YOU BUT TODAY I’LL PAVE MY WAY
THE TROUBLE WITH THIS LOVE IS, IS THAT IT NEVER GOES AWAY

CROSS THE CITY BORDERS THERE’S NO LINES UPON THE ROADS
IT RUNS ACROSS THE HILLTOPS AND YOU CHASE AWAY THE GOLD
I SWEAR IF I’D NEVER MET YOU I’D NEVER EVEN KNOW
HOW IT WAS TO HOLD YOU AND HOW IT FELT TO LET YOU GO

SHAVED THE HEIGHT OF FORTUNE FOR NO LIGHT LEFT TO BE FILLED
HE DREW A PICTURE OF YOU AND YOU NEVER STAYED SO STILL
TODAY WILL COME AND GREET ME WITH A HEART THAT I NEVER WON
BUT I’D HATE TO FOLLOW NOTHING OR NOT BELIEVE IN ANYONE

THESE WALLS ARE WHITE AND CRUMBLING YET TO THE WHISPER OF THE AGE
YOU WON’T ACHIEVE THE LIGHTNING JUST BY STANDING IN A CAGE
IF YOU DON’T STAND UP FOR SOMETHING MY FRIEND
THEN NOTHING WILL EVER CHANGE
YOU CAN ONLY HOPE FOR BETTER DAYS, YOU CAN ONLY PRAY FOR RAIN

THE SWEAT DRIPS FROM MY HEAD DOWN TO MY COLLARBONE IT WILL RUN
THESE VEINS ARE SLIPPING UNDER JUST LIKE THE BRANCHES TO THE SUN
CHOKING FOR A CIGARETTE OR A BULLET TO THE BRAIN
FOR TONIGHT I WILL BE SOMEONE WHO WILL FOLLOW YOU THROUGH THE FLAMES

IF ALL ELSE FAILS TO HEAL ME YOU CAN STRIP THE ANGER FROM MY BONES
JUST TRY NOT TO DISCOVER ME OR I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU ALONE
SOMEWHERE IN THE EAST, I SENSE A CHANCE TO LEAD THIS FAME
YOU NEVER EVEN LOOKED AT ME AND I NEVER LOOKED AWAY

PROFIT ONCE AND CALL US WHEN YOUR HANDS DON’T REACH THE WHEELS
TROUBLES EVEN OVER WE JUST PLOUGH IN DIFFERENT FIELDS
DON’T CAST YOUR EYES TO EASY THERE’S ALWAYS SOMEONE LEFT TO BLAME
I SLIP INTO A SLUMBER AND I FORGE ANOTHER NAME

I RISE IN THESE MORNINGS AND I GO AGAINST MY WILL
LIVING ISN’T EASY BUT IT’S BETTER THAN LAYING STILL
I DON’T SEARCH FOR ANSWERS ANY BETTER THAN I KNOW
I BREATHE THE HEIGHTS FOR MY LOVE AND I SWALLOW ALL THE LOWS
