Lyrics:

I welcome you in
Like a child of the night
Watch you step across the threshold
And into my life

Does it get hard for you?
Or is it just bittersweet?
Do you separate yourself
For an ounce of release?

I feel messed around
Although nothing ever happened
I guess I got used to the sidelined affection
So un touch my love
Don’t strike gently
Watch me burn out quick
It’s a hell of a scene

When I blush to crave something more than distraction
A rush with the grave, could it be cause for reaction?
A look my way
Fore I say “Heaven to them no hope imparts
Those who cannot hear the beating of their hearts”
It’s a losing game
If you can’t stand the pain

I do run to you
With the wounded hearts
You saw my dancing shoes
Accept my open arms
They stay closed
You‘re so lucky and you’ll never know why
Oh look baby’s still burning
Now she’s starting to cry

Cause lately now the end feels so near
I lose and gain such different fears
I wanna die in the arms
Of something I could never touch
It’s true, “Heaven to them no hope imparts
Those who cannot hear the beating of their hearts”
A losing game
If you can’t stand the pain
But I do...
Baby’s on fire now
She’ll never tell you how

Baby’s on fire
Don’t worry now
She’s slowly burning
Deep in her room
It’s the blight of the yearning
To burn down the house
And dance on the graves
Or build up a wall
And then watch it decay
