Found in the Fire

There’s a shadow sleeping underneath my skin

Whispering the places I have never been

It wears my face,

it knows my name

Turns every spark into a flame

I hear it breathing in the hall

Like it’s waiting for me to fall

My mind is racing,

worn and tired

Caught inside a house on fire

My demon’s taking over

I’m losing control

It’s pulling at my heartbeat

And shaking my soul

I’m crying in the silence Where nobody knows

I’m trying to find the person

I was before (ooh-ooh)

I built these walls to keep it out But now they echo

every doubt The words I swallowed,

the tears I hide

Come rushing like a rising tide

I tell myself that I’m okay

Then watch the colors fade away

The mirror shows a stranger there With

empty eyes and tangled hair

But somewhere underneath the pain

A little light still calls my name It says,

“You are more than what you feel This broken heart can learn

to heal”

So I’m breathing in the morning air

And letting somebody know I’m scared The darkness may be loud tonight

But it will never own my light

My demon’s losing power

I’m taking control

I’m gathering the pieces And mending my soul

I’m still here in the silence And now someone knows

I’m finding all the parts of me

I thought I’d lost (yeah,

yeah)

The tears may fall like rain tonight

But dawn is waiting past the night

My mind may hurt,

my heart may ache

But I’m still here,

and I won’t

break
