Inferno

|Instrumental| The darkness seems to cloud the light I wonder if the past can be blamed for all of that But it seems, nostalgia fills my heart Ambition giving way to what I have left behind Maybe light is breaking through the dark The days of old, they seem to wind and unfold To the streets on which my life was made Who needs ambition when I've got memories But somewhere in those days, lies and ever-present flame Meant to rekindle a sacred, precious melody Then say there's no tomorrow, no forever we must chase Then in the past, I cling and laugh cuz who would need today? For everything that shines so bright is finite, burning out So I walk into this inferno Maybe, please just maybe then my fire will burn out Then again, what does the question mean? I never understood why the "why" ever came If the dream is to just live in peace Then why is the curiosity rising again? Can I taste the present suffering? Learn to like the bitterness and possibly, the sweet Keep the memories just as they are And set them all ablaze, ignore the scarring I run towards that light As my blood begins to boil I can see the memories, they writhe and moan The time is overdue, to start fresh, begin anew But the questions still grow stronger than the fire I've made Then say there's no, no forever we must chase I cry away the notion that this all could end today A heart that's full of helium will slowly pass away But that's not me! I will scream till' my lungs give out Life is like a fountain, I believe it won't run out My time here has not been all fine Love lost and broken, won't heal with time Intelligence, my mind cannot find Withering as I try But this darkness can't blot out the light As a child, I raised my hands, held tightly to The magic of our youth I treasured everything, but in the fire, it goes They say there's no tomorrow, no forever we must chase So I walk on into this inferno Maybe, please just maybe then my fire will burn out
