Slow Burn

Slow Burn -Travis Miguel of Atreyu
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 for regretting my decision
I cant keep telling myself
What I want to hear
I cant just close my eyes
I know that its killing me
And its poisoning the best in me
But I say I dont want to believe
So let me tell you more tell you more
About the lies I lead
That is how I choose to douce the flames in gasoline
Broken teeth replace the blackout
Memories in my head
Wreckage from the past haunts me
Shake me to the bone to the bone
I know its over but I cant go home tonight
But after this I feel
As empty as the night before
Feel the pain and
Yet Im still begging for more
Masochistic nihilistic
Urging backward thought
My lifes a mess
And I cant find a way to fix it
I cant keep telling myself
What I want to hear
I cant just close my eyes
I know that its killing me
And its poisoning the best of me
What I see I dont want to believe
So let me tell you more tell you more
About the lies 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
Its only as dark as you make it
I know that its killing me
And its poisoning the best of me
But I say I dont want to believe
So let me tell you more
Tell you more
About the lies I lead
