Lyrics

A tiny spark
Ignites a forest fire
And soon it's soaring higher
Engulfing me in flames 

I pull it close
To harness all the passion
A desperate plea to cash in
Before I burn away

And then one day
A breath of hesitation
Became a great contagion
That burrowed in my bones

As I grew cold
Inertia bound and tied me
It slowly paralyzed me
And left me here alone


    New year, same fears
    Put the pieces all back together
    Blank slate, same fate
    And everything just goes on forever
    Will seed remain unsown
    In the fallow earth below
    I just wanna grow


I was wrong
To think that I was stronger
Than the looming monster
Who built me out of clay

From his hands
Arose a shell, ceramic
A hard but brittle man
Ignited in the flame

And in my shell
The scaffolding was held down
And all the walls that fell down
They buried me beneath

The sharpest bone
To pierce the veil alone in
A sea of serotonin
And not a drop to drink

    [Chorus]
