Blowing Out the Flame

[Verse 1]
I sold my soul for diamonds
And reason for acclaim
Been begging for white angels
To blow my mind away

Been growing funny flowers
Where roses never grew
I stayed awake all night
When I woke up from dreams
Of me and you

[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to take the sun and I went blind
God, help me to erase you from my mind
I'm growing cold
And night's yet to come
'Cause anyone tell me is this

[Chorus]
The way it's meant to be
Lost and isolated
Way too complicated
For you to lean on me

I play a losing game
I cried in desperation
Mental devastation
I'm blowing out the flame

[Verse 2]
Self-pity gave me shelter
Always hid away in vice
Dyslexic, torn and tattered
I tried to read the signs

You never tried to take a look
At the one I'd have died to be
Now it seems you don't see me at all

[Pre-Chorus]
Was it all worth it, visions holding sway
When the real thing got lost along the way
Yes, anyone tell me is this

[Chorus]
The way it's meant to be
Lost and isolated
Way too complicated
For you to learn on me

I play a losing game
I cried in desperation
Mental devastation
I'm blowing out the flame

[Solo: Sascha Paeth]

[Chorus]
Yes, anyone tell me is this
The way it's meant to be
Lost and isolated
Way too complicated
For you to learn on me

I play a losing game
Cried in desperation
Mental devastation
Blowing out the flame
