Silverstein - A Great Fire lyrics

Burning down, we can't stop it, We gotta get out, start again, Our memories are gone forever, Don't try to turn this around on me, I'm the one that saved you This was my own, this was my life It's not always just about you And as I heard, the sirens begin to chime, I can feel my heart begin to race Chorus 1 I can see through the flames that the fire cleanses me, Mind and soul, now the same And my body guides the way Verse 2 I threw you over my shoulder With the angel on my other I'm not your hero, I'll never be what you wanted, what you thought I would be Chorus 2 I can see through the flames that the fire cleanses me, Mind and soul, now the same And my body guides the way I can see through my tired eyes my sickness controls me Deep inside, I know this is the mother of deceit Verse 3 And they you were, 6 years old, ashes in your hair, You're not scared; you've seen so much pain in so few years, As the world becomes a place where no one wants to stay, We remain silent until it's too late, And as I see the flames that go in the sky, I can feel it coming to the end. Chorus 3 I can see through the flames that the fire cleanses me, Mind and soul, now the same And my body guides the way I can see through my tired eyes my sickness controls me Deep inside, I know this is the mother of deceit
