A Great Fire Lyrics

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 own, 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

I can see through the flames
That the fire cleanses me
Mind and soul, now the same
And my body guides the way

I feel you up on my shoulder
Like the angel, like my other
I'm not your hero, I'll never be what you wanted
What you thought I would be

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, [Incomprehensible]
Is the mother of deceit

And there you were, six 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 the flames that go in the sky
I can feel it coming to the end

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, [Incomprehensible]
Is the mother of deceit

Burning down, we can't stop it
We gotta get out, start again
Our memories are gone forever
