Let Me Burn


I wake up every morning
screaming, only to find
lightning out my window
I fight myself to sleep
every night, every time I find
the insanity brewing in my mind

And I lie
To all the little people
Who run around my eyes
Until one stops
I see them cry
And I know
What excruciating pain is like
Because their tears hit inside
And they burn, and they burn
Till I scream out goodbye
Then their gone
And so are you

I beg you for pain
Just stop the rain
And let the flames inside me burn
With the memories
Of all the ruined days
That never happened
Due to the ending you chose

I hope this pain will expose
The yearning buried deep inside
Just turn back, turn around
Set fire to my life
Let me burn, let me burn
Staring in your eyes

I dream dark, daunting figures
Fight to catch my breath,
Will you give me time
To discover an illusion
In which you live pain-free
intertwined with mine

But I cry
To all the little people
Who run around my eyes
They never stop
Don't care to try
Now I know
What being alone is like
As this room starts closing in
And it hurts, oh it hurts
Till I scream out my cries
Because you're gone
And so am I

Gone to realize the loss
Of your hopes that I crushed
While slowly fading
In the lie I stand in
You told me it was for the best
A mutual frustration

And I fought
With a mind of my own
And I said yes
When I really meant no
Now I'm lost
Middle of the road
Looking for you
To show me where to go

Now the fire's gone out
My life is a tundra
Everything's freezing
I can longer shout

This has so much feeling ! It's really amazing

Here Here. Really like this. There's a lot of content in there too. Do you have any idea of a tune for this song or is it lyrics only?

Thanks,

Alex

Well I always have an idea for a tune in my head as I write my lyrics, but later on they'll change as I look at them again. I can't write or read music unfortunately, so what ends up in my head is as far as a tune goes.
