lyrics

no matter how many times i think and i thought
there's a world on fire and i'm the same old moth
and i can fly there any time i want
i can't stop me

i can't do this alone and when i
turn to stone and all of my
lies are automatic
reason turns to static

don't leave me now
because all of these consequences
are building fences around and round

and you quiet the war
inside my head
you show me the lightning
that lies ahead

and this fire cannot keep me warm
i'll stay alive instead

because i was wired to self-destruct
but when i'm breaking you lift me up and out of the flames

when i start to believe
what the killer said
you show me a better life
that lies ahead

and this fire cannot heal me now
i'll stay awake instead

you've been keeping my eyes in the sky all this time
and i know we're the same
you can see me you'll be my bright light in the dark
and we're dreaming the same

and suddenly i fly so slow and i remember
to chase that same inferno forever
