inferno

A single flame to light the dark
I wear it every day everywhere that I go
There’s a dream for peace within my heart
But now it fades every day without any hope

There’s a single flame to light the dark
Is this the path you take? ‘Cause I don’t know where to go
Doesn’t matter ‘cause we’re always stuck
A heart that’s so warm can never help it

The fire lights our way
Guides us when we’re led astray
Like a melody for us to follow every day

They say there’s no eternity, so why do we all fight?
I try my best to laugh at it, and go and live my life
The things we have that shine so bright - one day their light will die
We walk our paths sharing this burden
We will walk and live our lives until our light burns out!

Here’s a question, let me ask you why (ask you why)
We seem to ignore that our time will soon pass? (time will soon pass)
There’s a dream for peace within my mind (within my mind)
But now it fades every day from knowledge it lacks

‘Cause it tastes so good, we all indulge
Forgetting that we cannot stop it rotting away
Now the flames of life surround us all
It’s heating up the scars we have inside us

The droplets start to rise
Dissipating in the light
Everyday a brand new memory for us to hold tight
We’ve got a new idea
Found a reason why we’re here
when the Sun rises again we find another appears

They say there’s no eternity, so why do we all fight?
I tried my best to laugh at it, but all I did was cry
The bubble we’re inside today could pop or change it’s size
We walk our path despite this mortality
We’ll protect the source of life until our light burns out!

I graduated, still I’m not smart
Can’t tell if I have broken my heart
Torn up, I can’t keep playin’
I’m so frustrated!
I-I-I can’t help wondering if this is Hell!

The toys from back when I was just a kid,
along with knowing just like magic,
we will always heal - they’re treasures I hold.
They say there’s no eternity, so why do we all fight?
We walk our paths sharing this burden
We will walk and live our lives until our light burns out!
