The moments in between the words I hear you speak
Are desolate and clean and leave me feeling weak
I just want to see the beautiful world in my dreams
But all I see is me in the center of all I seek
Now I feel like a ghost in a world that is fading
All I've been taught to recall simply fails to persuade me
The truth tends to sting while it heals
And the only way back is screaming the words
Oh my God what have I become?
I feel this fire burn
Burn till I'm undone and never to return
I remember when the wind brought heaven's scent
And the stars that filled the sky
Drew a line between you and I
Oh my God what have I become?
I feel this fire burn
Burn till I'm undone and never to return
Lift up your voice loud
I declare myself this hour
Simply dust that's entrusted with such a peculiar power
Oh my God what have I become?
I feel this fire burn
Burn 'till I'm undone, never to return
There's nothing like living, asleep in some hazy dream
Then your eyes open to see what they've never seen
Oh the first time that my gaze fell upon this place
How I shudder to think what I've become
