A quiet knock begins to bring a fire bright beyond the trees

Caught in the smoke

I cannot go past the broken bones of a broken home

The warmth and glow illuminate the stones

That once meant home to this broken soul

My heart's collapsed

I can't come back as my lungs fill with gas from this burning mess

I can't see beyond the burning trees where day becomes night

Will someone stay with me?

Cause if I leave will I lose my own light?

I'm breaking down each day they ask me if I'm alright

And if I leave as the fire burns bright

The hope will fade that someday you will see what's inside

They're back again

The voiceless thoughts that control me deep from within

The fire wins

Engulfing me and everything inside again

Set alight with every sin

I play pretend it's all alright when it's not

And I forgot that I'm not the one who's calling the shots

I'm waking up as I choke, crawling up to the sky goes the smoke

Enveloped in a black cloak, lost and unprovoked

The blaze in the place begins to erase everything in me

Hopes, dreams, memories

Everything I need

(Alight)

Everything I need

Cause if I leave will I lose my own light?

I'm breaking down each day they ask me if I'm alright

And if I leave as the fire burns bright

The hope will fade that someday you will see what's inside
