Burning alive

I'm crawling in the shadows Losing sight of what is inside A storm of broken pieces Nowhere left to hide Echoes of what I left behind A twisted voice Screaming in my mind Doubt is my foundation I choke on empty promises I'm not the one you thought you knew These fractures deep They're bleeding through You want the light But I'm the flame Burning alive in my own shame A fading sound A fleeting trace Lost in time Without a trace The static in my head It drowns out the quiet voice What's real What's illusion A battle is lost before I begin I'm not the one you thought you knew These fractures deep They're bleeding through You want the light But I'm the flame Burning alive in my own shame A fading sound A fleeting trace Lost in time Without a trace A fading sound A fleeting trace Lost in time Without a trace Deeper in the meaning Lost inside the feeling Falling through the silence Fading into nothing
