Man On Fire
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Am I a man who is on fire?
My ashes turn to fields of chords from a choir
I melt into the winds that sailed us away
And all the letters that never found their place
And out of all the wars come war machines
The captain of ships that sink it's strings
And I believe I'm more than what you see
Welcome to the world inside of me
So strike me
And light me
I need you to set me free
You strike me
You light me
I burn through a life so empty
You know I can't resist the fire
(There is so much more to see)
You know I can't resist your fire
(There is so much more to see)
I am a man who is on fire
My eyes stay closed, but still my heart is a liar
The rings of a tree are not what they seem
The rivers underground all run though me
So strike me
And light me
I need you to set me free
You strike me
You light me
I burn through a life so empty
You know I can't resist the fire
(There is so much more to see)
You know I can't resist your fire
(There is so much more to see)
Wake
Me
When this nightmare's finally over
Take
Me
Away
So strike me
And light me
I need you to set me free
You strike me
You light me
I burn through a life so empty
You know I can't resist the fire
(There is so much more to see)
You know I can't resist the fire
(There is so much more to see)
There is so much more to see
(There is so much more to see)
There is so much more to see
(There is so much more to see)
There is so much more to see
(There is so much more to see)
