I'm selling heavenly sketches
A world out of my mind
Ready to explode in purity
To fill the holes inside
An ever-moving stream
With glowing rays of light
Emotions tied to past lies
And I know I should let go
Tamed with confidence of brighter future
I found a flame in the burnt out ashes
Burn out, burn out
Fueled, these new shores burn
Dark past lies cold
Shadow, my sweet shadow
To you, I look no more
Another dawn collapses
Do I need to be reminded?
A glimpse of my safe home
A path to hide all anger
I found a flame in the burnt out ashes
Burn out, burn out
Fueled, these new shores burn
Dark past lies cold
Shadow, my sweet shadow
To you, I look no more
♪
In circles I catch
A torch carried by the immortal
From depths that I created
In vain, echoes fade
Burn out
Fueled, these new shores burn
Dark past lies cold
Shadow, my sweet shadow
To you, I look no more
Fueled, these new shores burn
Dark past lies cold
Shadow, my sweet shadow
To you, I look no more
Fueled
Dark past lies cold
To you, I look no more
Fueled
