[Intro] It begins with a dark, glowing ember Something black burning its way out of me Searing the flesh, pain is the only thing I feel Scars, all I see [Verse 1] Oh, no, the fires burning my insides again What can I do to silence my desire tonight? Flames consuming reason, leaving only ashes left You will catch me regretting my decision [PreChorus] I cant keep telling myself What I want to hear What I want to hear I cant just close my eyes [Chorus] I know that its killing me And its poisoning the best of me What I see, I dont want to believe So let me tell you more, tell you more About the lies I lead [Verse 2] That is how I chose to douse the flames in gasoline Broken teeth replace the blackout memories in my head Wreckage from the past haunts me, shakes me to the bone To the bone I know its over, but I cant go home tonight But after this, I feel as empty as the night before Feel the pain, and yet Im still begging for more Masochistic, nihilistic, urging backward thought My lifes a mess and I cant find a way to fix it [PreChorus] I cant keep telling myself What I want to hear What I want to hear I cant just close my eyes My eyes, my eyes, my fucking eyes [Chorus] I know that its killing me And its poisoning the best in me What I see What I see I dont want to believe Want to believe So let me tell you more, tell you more About the lies I lead [Bridge] Calling, calling out Calling out The darkest reaches of my soul Are riddled with selfdoubt Crawling, crawling out My will to fight will more than suffice When others would lay down Its only as dark as you make it [Chorus] I know I know That its killing me Its killing me And its poisoning Its poisoning The best of me The best of me What I see What I see I dont want to believe Want to believe So let me tell you more, tell you more About the lies I lead
