Flames

(album: Other Words Fail Me - 2023)

I think of when time was a friend
My faith was an endless road
I never once had to pretend
To know which way to go

But I felt it creep in
Climb on my shoulder
To settle down for the night
It's the strangest feeling
To watch your hope leaving
And not even put up a fight

But I feel awake
And I need to change
There's never an easy way
I'll run to the flames

I think of when my will would bend
And sway in the morning breeze
Now I sink in to the earth
A stubborn and wanting beast

But I felt it creep in
Embrace my feelings
Sing me a poison tune
To lull me to sleep so
I'll only dream of
The woman I could've been

But I feel awake
And I need to change
There's never an easy way
I'll run to the flames

Aaah ahhhhhhh

Now I'm stood at the edge of the earth
I'm not ready to fall, do I follow you on?
Maybe I was expecting the worst
But the light in the dark makes me hear every word
And I'll, burn through the night
Night

Oh I feel awake
And I need to change
There's never an easy way
I'll run to the flames

Oh I feel awake
And I need to change
There's never an easy way
I'll run to the flames
