I've been playing games with fire,
I've been watching flames grow higher,
In my burning home they rise up,
Working through the walls around us.
But do you know,
How tight I hold on to these memories from before?
The feeling's cold,
But while these embers glow I hope to keep them close.
Every single word that's spoken,
Every desperate breath is choking,
As the floors collapse I free fall,
In the snowing ash i'm peaceful.
But do you know,
How tight I hold on to these memories from before?
The feelings cold,
But while these embers glow I hope to keep them close.
Now my boiling blood it runs slow,
And the strongest flames feel ice cold,
Trying to find a way to end this,
As the fire soothes my senses.
Melting windows frame a warped view,
Have I passed the point of rescue?
Such a simple game to start this,
From the brightest light to darkness.
But do you know,
How tight I hold on to these memories from before?
The feelings cold,
But while these embers glow I hope to keep them close.
