There’s a rope that cuts straight through my arms,
A chain that clasps right round my legs,
I can’t break through when I try to leave,
Cause your demons just won’t let me be.
My vision is blurred with what I’ve left behind,
I just can’t breathe it pulls so tight,
It feels to me you crawl through my veins,
My soul has been set alight.
Chorus:
As I start to leave it’s like a forest to fire,
A burning desire,
It engulfs me now you’ll start to melt,
Don’t put me out,
From in these flames sparks the smallest of cracks,
I can’t go back,
And I’m burning within your ice.
Verse 2:
Within my mind I start to swirl,
I’m lost within your grasp,
It seems as though I’m here alone,
But your shadow has a hold on me.
I can’t ignore it as you try to bind me,
And keep a hold of what I’m searching for,
I know you can’t be alone this time,
But this one chance I’m going to ignite.
Chorus:
As I start to leave it’s like a forest to fire,
A burning desire,
It engulfs me now you’ll start to melt,
Don’t put me out,
From in these flames sparks the smallest of cracks,
I can’t go back,
And I’m burning within your ice.
