Blowing Out the Flame

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I sold my soul for diamonds And reason for acclaim Been begging for white angels To blow my mind away Been growing funny flowers Where roses never grew I stayed awake all night When I woke up from dreams Of me and you [Pre-Chorus] I tried to take the sun and I went blind God, help me to erase you from my mind I'm growing cold And night's yet to come 'Cause anyone tell me is this [Chorus] The way it's meant to be Lost and isolated Way too complicated For you to lean on me I play a losing game I cried in desperation Mental devastation I'm blowing out the flame [Verse 2] Self-pity gave me shelter Always hid away in vice Dyslexic, torn and tattered I tried to read the signs You never tried to take a look At the one I'd have died to be Now it seems you don't see me at all [Pre-Chorus] Was it all worth it, visions holding sway When the real thing got lost along the way Yes, anyone tell me is this [Chorus] The way it's meant to be Lost and isolated Way too complicated For you to learn on me I play a losing game I cried in desperation Mental devastation I'm blowing out the flame [Solo: Sascha Paeth] [Chorus] Yes, anyone tell me is this The way it's meant to be Lost and isolated Way too complicated For you to learn on me I play a losing game Cried in desperation Mental devastation Blowing out the flame
