Old Flames

(album: Vaxis – Act I: The Unheavenly Creatures - 2018)

Hey, what became of my head?
The beats in my heart, the jokes that I said
I guess all these false starts
Of a puzzle you can't finish cause' you're missing the best parts

Don't you feel I'm bringing you home?
Out of this pit where I left you alone in
This horrible mess that I made
But I guess that's what you get when you're not paying attention

So baby, welcome back to the man you've been missing
Baby, welcome back to confusing, perplexing

We all go up in flames, going out in style
And Heaven help us if they'd ever let us rest for just a little while, yeah
We all go up in flames, going out in style
Am I out of my head to think the world could start believing me when I am dead?

I was a mess of a man
With washed up excuses, I know, I know
Part of the confusion is me
We both agree that I wasn't the man you needed me to be

But, oh, how I changed and oh, how I've grown
Could she believe me when I've got nothing to show?
My everything, she needs to see
The choice is hers to believe in me

So baby, I'm back and I'm not gonna stop
Baby, I'm back and I'm not gonna stop

We all go up in flames, going out in style
And Heaven help us if they'd ever let us rest for just a little while, yeah
We all go up in flames, going out in style
Am I out of my head to think the world could start believing me when I am
I am dead?

You and me, we're not enemies, I'm begging
If anything, oh, we are, we are
In harmony, sing with me, I plead
Oh, if I can make things right then this will be our night
The world against you and I

We all go up in flames, go out in style

We all go up in flames, going out in style
And Heaven help us if they'd ever let us rest for just a little while, yeah
We all go up in flames, going out in style
Am I out of my head to think the world could start believing me when I am dead?
