Atreyu - Slow burn lyrics

rate me

It begins with a dark glowing ember

something black burning its way out of me

searing the flesh

pain is the only thing i feel

scars all i see

oh no the fires burning my insides again

what can i do to silence my desire tonight

flames consuming reason

Leaving only ashes left

you will catch me regretting my decision

I can't keep telling myself what i want to hear

I can't just close my eyes

i know that

its killing me

and its poisoning the best in me

what i see i don't want to believe

so let me tell you more

about the lies i lead

that is how i chose to douse the flames in gasoline

broken teeth replace the blackout memories in my head

wreckage from the past haunts me, shakes me 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

masochistic 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

its killing me

and its poisoning the best in me

what i see i don't want to believe

so let me tell you more

about the lie 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

its killing me

and its poisoning the best in me

what i see i don't want to believe

so let me tell you more

about the lie i lead

<br />
