Atreyu - Slow Burn Lyrics

Send "Slow Burn" Ringtone to Cell Phone

It begins with a dark glowing ember 
Something black burning its way out of me 
Searing the flesh 
Pain is the only thing I feel 
Scars all I see 

Oh no the fires burning my insides again 
What can I do to silence my desire tonight 
Flames consuming reason 
Leaving only ashes left 
You will catch me regretting my decision 

I can't keep telling myself what I want to hear 
I can't just close my eyes 

I know that 
It's killing me 
And it’s poisoning the best in me 
What I see I don’t want to believe 
So let me tell you more 
About the lies I lead 

This is how I’ve chosen to douse the flames 
Broken teeth replace blackout memories 
Wreckage from the past haunts me, shakes me to the bone 
I know its over but I can’t go home tonight 

But after this I feel as empty as before 
Feel the pain and yet I’m still begging for more 
Masochistic nihilistic urging backward thought 
My life’s a mess and I cant find a way to fix it 

I know that 
It's killing me 
And it’s poisoning the best in me 
What I see I don’t want to believe 
So let me tell you more 
About the lies I lead 

Calling calling out 
The darkest reaches of my soul are riddled with self doubt 
Crawling crawling out 
My will to fight will more than suffice when others would lay down. 

It’s only as dark as you make it 

I know that 
It's killing me 
And it’s poisoning the best in me 
What I see I don’t want to believe 
So let me tell you more 
About the lies I lead
