A FIRE I CANT PUT OUT

A stifled breath
Tension in the air
I won't cut it
I'd rather sit and stare
I'm screaming on the inside
But I can choke it down
They say I've lived a thousand lives
I feel another coming

I know a cycle can be broken
With the words I've never spoken
I know the odds are in my favor
But some things are better savored
You're in my mind
Vibrate in each cell
A compulsion for disruption
My own little hell
Spin me round and round in circles
'Til I feel all that's been felt
Only I can save me now
A fire I can't put out

The ashes and the embers
The shedding of my skin
They say these marks are scars from past lives
But I still feel 'em sting
There's a new voice in my head
And all she does is sing
It's a haunting melody
But it's starting to grow wings

I know a cycle can be broken
With the words I've never spoken
I know the odds are in my favor
But some things are better savored
You're in my mind
Vibrate in each cell
A compulsion for disruption
My own little hell
Spin me round and round in circles
'Til I feel all that's been felt
Only I can save me now
A fire I can't put out

I want you know you want it
My sweet siren pulling me in
The deepest waters are the coolest
It's hot and heavy where I swim
Some say I fell from heaven
But this is where I've always been
And I've never had a doubt
It's a fire I can't put out
