atreyu - slow burn lyrics
it begins with a dark glowing ember,
something black burning it’s way out of me.
searing the flesh,
pain is the only thing i feel,
scars all i see.
oh no the fire’s burning my insides again,
what can i do to silence my desire tonight?
flames consuming reason leaving only ashes left
you will catch me for regretting my decision,
i can’t keep telling myself what i want to hear,
i can’t just close my eyes.
i know that it’s killing me,
and it’s poisoning the best in me,
but i say, i don’t want to believe.
what i see, i don’t want to believe.
so let me tell you more (tell you more)
about the lies i lead.
that is how i choose to douce the flames in gasoline
broken teeth replace the blackout memories in my head
wreckage from the past haunts me, shake me to the bone (to the bone)
i know it’s over but i can’t go home tonight.
but after this i feel as empty as the night before,
feel the pain and yet i’m still begging for more.
m-s-ch-stic, nihilistic, urging backward thought
my life’s a mess and i can’t find a way to fix it.
i can’t keep telling myself what i want to hear,
i can’t just close my eyes
(my eyes, my eyes, my f-cking eyes)
i know that it’s killing me,
and it’s poisoning the best of me,
what i see, i don’t want to believe.
so let me tell you more, tell you more,
about the lies i lead.
calling, calling out.
the darkest reaches of my soul,
are riddled with self-doubt.
crawling, crawling out,
my will to fight will more than suffice,
when others would lay down.
it’s only as dark as you make it.
i know that it’s killing me,
and it’s poisoning the best of me,
but i say, i don’t want to believe.
so let me tell you more, tell you more
about the lies i lead.
