Verse 1
Burning down, we can't stop it,
We gotta get out, start again,
Our memories are gone forever,
Don't try to turn this around on me,
I'm the one that saved you
This was my home, this was my life
It's not always just about you
And as I heard, the sirens begin to chime,
I can feel my heart begin to race
Chorus 1
I can see through the flames that the fire cleanses me,
Mind and soul, now the same
And my body guides the way
Verse 2
I threw you up on my shoulder,
With a angel on the other
I'm not your hero,
I'll never be what you wanted, what you thought I would be
Chorus 2
I can see through the flames that the fire cleanses me,
Mind and soul, now the same
And my body guides the way
I can see through my tired eyes my sickness controls me
Deep inside, I know truth is the mother of deceit
Verse 3
And they you were,
6 years old, ashes in your hair,
You're not scared; you've seen so much pain in so few years,
As the world becomes a place where no one wants to stay,
We remain silent until it's too late,
And as I see planes take over the sky
I can feel it coming to the end
Chorus 3
I can see through the flames that the fire cleanses me,
Mind and soul, now the same
And my body guides the way
I can see through my tired eyes my sickness controls me
Deep inside, I know this is the mother of deceit
(And your burning down my life so slowly
I know in my heart trust is the mother of deceit)
