Burning

What you want I do not have

And what you fear nevertheless

You're now way in too deep

What is true I make believe, and then I'm blind to see

You're falling to your knees

You try to run

You try to hide

But you can't get enough

You need another high

You try to escape the light that shines, and you know you will not go

So now you turn your face away

To all you could have been

Instead of resisting, you give in

You can't go on burning life away

I will hold on, for better, brighter days

Heard you left and saw yourself

Looking back at you

You saw yourself walking out the door

You know the lies, the other side

But you can't get enough

You need another high

You try to escape the light that shines

And you know you will not go

So now you turn your face away

To all you could have been

Instead of resisting, you give in

Gentle like the waves you roll on by

The full moon's pulling shattered souls will rise

You can't go on burning life away

I will hold on, for better, brighter days

Heard you left and saw yourself

Looking back at you

You saw yourself walking out the door

You know the lies, the other side

But you can't get enough

You need another high

You try to escape the light that shines

And you know you will not go

So now you turn your face away

To all you could have been

Instead of resisting, you give in
