Down in Flames

 
uncertainty, feeling the course of blood
rushing to my ears
the roaring of flames
threatening to erupt through my heart
my body steaming in the cold rain

it's like i'm on fire
every nerve ending alive
i'm overloaded, yet still unsatisfied
i'm ready to short circuit
i'm ready to break again

flowing, electrical fusion
centralized intrusion
one goal, one purpose
to wipe away the confusion
speeding like a bullet through my mind

meanwhile i'm spinning
stumbling, free wheeling
through my own demise

coming down hard
God, you let me fall
i'm sorry, but i couldnt follow You
You were too much

I couldnt keep my word
but you kept yours
now i find myself falling
a ball of flame downward
rushing back to earth

i ran past broken mirrors on the street
saw my own reflection through the shards
i can't back down now

feeling the rush of adrenaline
as i set fire to the golden altars-
i'm sorry, i must
your ways are too exhausted
you lost my trust

and they say i turned to madness
watching me blow away the ashes
that they called worship
and they say i had no deliverance
i delivered myself from your evil
my own justice

still i'm spinning
stumbling, free wheeling
through my own demise
it's not like i didnt try
i just tried too hard
