I'll always be the fire burning
Set aflame by just one word
A mislead gaze or a forgotten lovesong
It doesn't matter to the world

My heart is an inferno of rotten feelings
Blazing through my body
A mislead gaze or a forgotten lovesong
Only the sinners end up inside my heart

So frail and so afraid to believe in the light
I learned it the hard way
Trust is something they say has to be earned
I say nobody will ever earn my trust again
I say nobody will ever gain access to my deepest weaknesses
Ever again

So many years of emotional exploit
Lies and curses
In the end I laid stretched out alone on the cold snow
A midnight prayer of quick death as a mantra stuck on my lips
In the end I laid stretched out on a hospital bed
Tubes attached to my body just to survive the night

But I'll always be the fire burning
Set aflame by just one word
A mislead gaze or a forgotten lovesong
It doesn't matter to the world

My heart is an inferno of rotten feelings
Blazing through my body
A mislead gaze or a forgotten lovesong
Only the sinners end up inside my heart

The twisted hopes of an eight-year-old girl
She lives on inside me, always leading me
To care for those unfortunate and lonely souls
To love those broken, empty souls
Pure and good and true
The screaming voice of an eight-year-old girl
She's stuck inside me, always pleading me
To let her out
And let her grow up

I look into the mirror now
See eyes of depth and female curves
See full lips and a sultry face
Yet the imprint of a child is always there...
I know something inside of me broke
When I was in my youth
And I'm still caught in that moment
No matter how deep the cut
No matter how hard the fuck
No matter how wild the ride
I can't seem to break free

So I'll always be the fire burning
Set aflame by just one word
A mislead gaze or a forgotten lovesong
It doesn't matter to the world

My heart is an inferno of rotten feelings
Blazing through my body
A mislead gaze or a forgotten lovesong
Only the sinners end up inside my heart
