I am the fire that keeps burning
I am the sun that never sets
I was searching for a meaning
For a reason, for a life to live
I was drowning in my skin
I was searching for an end
Cut me wide open
Breathe and let me in
Open your eyes
I'm still alive
This world is fleeting
To die is to survive
Open your mind
I'm still alive
Was it worth it?
In my heart it feels it
But I feel so alone
In this home
That I built
That I call my own
Dissociative memories
Pouring into my head
Opposite colors bleeding through
Fade to grey from a warm red
I'm falling and fading away
No one can save me
Please leave me to waste away
I'm fading away
No one can save me
Please leave me to waste away
I'm fading away
No one can save me
Fade away
When I wake up
I'll be okay
I want to say that I'll stay awake
If I don't make it
I'll never fake it
Just know inside
I'll be okay
