These lights have held me down
Upon the look of your face
To others you've reconciled
Their meaning and their faith
But I have felt enclosed
Ever since this box was made
Forced upon to be something
Then you left without a trace
With love in my eyes
You've felt this way
The truth was bound
Since the first day
But now we're gone
Into the flames
And now it will never
Be the same
These frights of being chosen
To be the next one dead
Following me every day
Keeps me in a state of dread
They come and go for a while
And they hurdle me with light
For the reasons apparent
Built up and kept inside
With love in my eyes
You've felt this way
The truth was bound
Since the first day
But now we're gone
Into the flames
And now it will never
Be the same
These lights have been building
A bridge to the end of my mind
And they feel like collapsing
Into something I can't find
But there was reasons
That have brought me to the edge
And here I stand thinking
That I am better off dead
With love in my eyes
You've felt this way
The truth was bound
Since the first day
But now we're gone
Into the flames
And now it will never
Be the same
