The Fire Lyrics
I'll light the fuse and I'll set the dam to blow,
flooding the entire town below and all that I've known.
What wasn't nailed down will be washed away.
My hands are shaking but I will not hesitate.
I found the strength to face.
Because the place I fear the most,
is the place I have to go to see the truth.
"It's okay to feel lost, it just means you're alive",
I've told myself a thousand times.
From the ashes we will rise.
It's okay to feel lost, walk through the flames and see,
you're only left with what you need.
We're only here for the journey.
Am I bold enough to be underlined?
Like sand sifting through time, it all falls in line.
Life is a minefield and on one side I'm stuck.
I broke the key on the door I tried to unlock.
I'm never giving up.
Because the things that haunt you are the things you didn't do.
Not what you did.
"It's okay to feel lost, it just means you're alive",
I've told myself a thousand times.
From the ashes we will rise.
It's okay to feel lost, walk through the flames and see,
you're only left with what you need.
We're only here for the journey.
We find the truth through tragedy!
I'm finding new ways to make the same mistakes.
Putting my dreams onto paper and then folding them into planes.
Then I let them go because when in Rome.
I set fire to what I love the most!
I just want to feel alive!
I just want to feel alive!
It's okay to feel lost...
It's okay to feel lost...
"It's okay to feel lost, it just means you're alive",
I've told myself a thousand times.
From the ashes we will rise.
It's okay to feel lost, walk through the flames and see,
you're only left with what you need.
We're only here for the journey.
We'll find the truth through tragedy!
flooding the entire town below and all that I've known.
What wasn't nailed down will be washed away.
My hands are shaking but I will not hesitate.
I found the strength to face.
Because the place I fear the most,
is the place I have to go to see the truth.
I've told myself a thousand times.
From the ashes we will rise.
It's okay to feel lost, walk through the flames and see,
you're only left with what you need.
We're only here for the journey.
Like sand sifting through time, it all falls in line.
Life is a minefield and on one side I'm stuck.
I broke the key on the door I tried to unlock.
I'm never giving up.
Because the things that haunt you are the things you didn't do.
Not what you did.
I've told myself a thousand times.
From the ashes we will rise.
It's okay to feel lost, walk through the flames and see,
you're only left with what you need.
We're only here for the journey.

I set fire to what I love the most!
I just want to feel alive!
It's okay to feel lost...
I've told myself a thousand times.
From the ashes we will rise.
It's okay to feel lost, walk through the flames and see,
you're only left with what you need.
We're only here for the journey.

I think this entire album is about letting go of his family, specifically his dad. He hates his dad because he abandoned him, and gave him his alcohol addiction. Senses Fail. <33 Saved my life.
This is one of the more powerful songs I like the hear when I'm depressed or angry. The tune to the song just allows me to let out my emotions. The screaming just makes me want to scream which I have done several times when no one was around. I listen to this song most days before I go to school so I can brace myself for what I know is coming.
damn bro, out of curiosity, has life gotten better?

A great song from the new album. Just picked it up after seeing them play at the Webster Theatre in Connecticut.
I feel this song is about letting go of something from the past that has been stuck with you for so long, affecting you day in and day out until the point of self destruction. Buddy feels great pain and is done with it.
"I'll light the fuse and I'll set the dam to blow, flooding the entire town below and all that I've known" Basically clearing the slate/mind of his depressing past. The chorus also expreses this.
This song basicly means we all live life having to choose paths and believing in what we need to so we can get through it all.For Buddy,he's telling how he wants to believe in God,but it's hard since logic rules out everything Christians believe in.He doesn't know how to have faith,so he's forgeting religon and leaving all his faith behind.Just like me,he feels worried when he realizes that if God is real,he's going to hell,but to go to heaven,he needs to believe in God,so he can't do anything.He won't get help,so he still feels lost.So he's just waiting for death to come,showing him if his choice was right or wrong.He's not encouraging us to not believe in God,he's telling us we're able to choose what we want to believe in,we're not being forced since in our hearts,we know what choice we're making.We try to forget God,but we really can't;It's impossible to us.We believe that God is real,we just need proof.We want to believe in God,but it's really hard,so in our hearts,we are Christians,We're just waiting for faith.
