I feel the burn of the flame within me I’ve come to know and accept this feeling Pushed to the edge I’ll claw a way straight through To find my solace now A soul I will renew I will escape my fate, I want to live again There’s no such thing as a heart too heavy Even the burden of life and memory A purpose-driven existence to find The past is gone, the future redefined I am the side effect I am a by-product I am the consequence I am the side effect With my hands, I’ll start anew Another way to make it through Not to be just another side effect
