Burning down 
We can't stop it 
We gotta get out 
Start again 
The memories are gone forever 

Don't try 
To turn this around on me 
I'm the one that saved you 
This was my home 
This was my life 
It's not always just about you 

And as I heard 
The sirens begin to chime 
I can feel my heart begin to race 

I can see through the flames 
That the fire cleanses me 
Mind and soul now the same 
And my body guides the way 

I threw you over my shoulder 
With the angel 
On my other 
I'm not your hero 
I'll never be 
What you wanted 
What you thought I would be 

I can see through the flames 
That the fire cleanses me 
Mind and soul now the same 
And my body guides the way 

I can see through my tired eyes 
My sickness controls me 
Deep inside I know [bad word] (I know [bad word]  
Is the mother of deceit 
(Is the mother of deceit) 

And there you were 
Six years old, ashes in your hair 
You're not scared 
You've seen so much pain in so few years 
As the world 
 [bad word] a place where no one wants to stay 
We remain 
Silent until it's too late 

And as I see 
The planes take over the sky 
I can feel [bad word] to the end 

I can see through the flames 
That the fire cleanses me 
Mind and soul now the same 
And my body guides the way (and you're burning) 

I can see through my tired eyes (down my life so slowly) 
My sickness controls me (I know in my heart) 
Deep inside I know [bad word] (I know [bad word]  
Is the mother of deceit 
(Is the mother of, is the mother of deceit)
