Closer

These days, lately, I've been chasing shadows in the dark
I've forgotten the light
No, nothing's black and white
Living in the grace
Falling through the hourglass of time, time, time
I've been turning the tide, tide, tonight
Come a little closer, closer to the flame
Holding in the fire, tearing up the frame
And I'm still alive (hey, hey, I'm still alive)
Come a little closer, closer to the pain
Ashes and desire, burning in my veins
And I'm still alive (hey, hey, I'm still alive)
Wasted, weightless, suspended like a puppet on a string
But I'll never give in
I've been on my own, I've been feeling low
The bruises left will never ever show, no, no
And I'm letting it go, go, woah
Come a little closer, closer to the flame
Holding in the fire, tearing up the frame
And I'm still alive (hey, hey, I'm still alive)
Come a little closer, closer to the pain
Ashes and desire, burning in my veins
And I'm still alive (hey, hey, I'm still alive)
And I feel alive (hey, hey, I'm still alive)
I don't wanna let this go, pulled myself from the undertow
And I push you out
Did I let you in?
Started over and over again
I said I don't wanna let this go, pulled myself from the undertow
And I push you out
Did I let you in?
Start it over and over again
Come a little closer
Closer to the flame
Holding in the fire
Tearing up the frame
And I'm still alive
Come a little closer, closer to the flame
Holding in the fire, tearing up the frame
And I'm still alive (hey, hey, I'm still alive)
Come a little closer, closer to the pain
Ashes and desire, burning in my veins
And I'm still alive (hey, hey, I'm still alive)
And I feel alive (hey, hey, I'm still alive)
