Reflux

The city is on fire

My anger oh, so dire

The fire burns to the bone

Charring the brain and leaving the stone

I’m burning on again

I’m going through again

Oh, my mother never loved me

My mother never loved me

My mother never loved me

Don’t blame me

I am the ultimate

The one legitimate

The city burning away

My own Gomorrah on judgement day

The purifying blast

The echoes from the past

Inside and all around me

The city’s burning, the city in me

Oh, my mother never loved me

My mother never loved me

My mother never loved me

Don’t blame me

The sun is so high above me

Makes me wonder

Makes me wonder

Come back and hold me tight

Lead me into the light

Come take my hand and say I am not to blame

A burning man and fire in his wake

Razing all within the very core

A burning man at self-erected stake

To feel what he’s burning for

Flames go up so high

The fire is so high

And the walls fall down on me again

And the fire peels my skin

Once again I burn to make it real

For the peace the fire brings
