Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Like wildfire
It starts in my chest
The silence grows louder
Ringing out in my head
[Verse 2]
I feel the Earth shaking under my feet
I feel the pressure building until I can't breathe
And it takes everything
And it all spills out
Reckless but honest words leave my mouth
Like kerosene on a flame of doubt
I couldn't make you right
[Verse 3]
Alarms will sound
But it's too late for holy water now
Sooner or later the fire dies down
I'll open up my eyes
[Verse 4]
And I'll try to find the image of God
In mountains made of ash and clouds of smoke
[Verse 5]
It's fight or flight
Buried in my bones
It's fight or flight
It keeps my mind cold
[Verse 6]
But I feel it break
With just one misstep down a fire escape
And suddenly I'm someone that prays
Last minute man of faith
But I'll leave behind miles and miles of jagged lines
Upon the surface of the divine
I wish I could set them straight
[Verse 7]
Till it spills out
Reckless but honest words leave my mouth
Like kerosene on the flame of doubt
I just couldn't make you right
[Verse 8]
Alarms will sound
But it's too late for holy water now
Sooner or later the fire dies down
I'll open my eyes again
