River of Fire

Buildings crumbling in my mind

I'm not here

Walking backwards through a door

Until I disappear

The story on the stained glass

Isn't the same

When the sun's not shining through

And the moon don't even know my name

River of fire

I'm ashamed 'cause I've misused your heat

Your flame's a reflection of me

It hurts knowing who I can be sometimes

Down the barrel of a gun

Looked in his eyes

He was scared too, but he got my wallet

I was shaken but alive

We all just want the same thing

No matter what it takes

To be heard and understood

And given a fair shake

River of fire

I'm ashamed 'cause I misused your heat

Your flame's a reflection of me

It hurts knowing who I can be sometimes

River of fire

Well, I knew you were me all along

I've watched as you've flown and you've grown

It hurts knowing what I have shown sometimes

Knowing who I can be sometimes

Knowing what I let slide

River of fire

River of fire
