Burn Out

Welcome to the threshold of a brand new era
With the shackles removed, opened eyes to see clearer
Going back to the beginning to discover the answer
It was you all along like a dormant cancer
Fall into your lies
(Out of my control)
Hear my futile cries
Ripping right through my soul
Wounds that hollow through
(Out of my control)
Bleed contempt back to
The origin of the fall
Feel the burn
Brace myself for the impact
It's coming fast, take a chance
Nothing left to lose this time
Destiny
Will reveal itself in time
A distant point of light
Burning out before its time
Downward spiral, falling round and round
Controlling every move in motion
Make this stop
Give me time to catch my breath
Contemplation of fear
Gripping tight and not letting go
Bid farewell
To a past that shadows the future
I'm breaking through, running free
A gamble to achieve the goal
Fight until the bitter end
(Going so fast, you just can't keep up)
Dare to catch me if you can
(Going so fast, the candle's lit at both ends)
From these flames I shall ascend
(Going so fast, you just can't keep up)
I will leave you where you stand
(Going so fast, the candle's lit at both ends)
Will not burn out 'til the end
Tell me, what have you done?
Pulled everything apart
Yet nothing have you won
Just a severed piece of my unsuspecting heart
Loving you was not a choice
But I chose to walk away
You took everything
But I'm the one who paid for your mistakes
