I want to run away
From this awful place in my mind
Don't want to do no more time
I do what I love to pick me up
But lately now I do not think it's gonna be enough
So I sit and I pray and I hope that someday
These problems will move far away
I'm burning up In the fire of my soul
I'm burning up, There is no way I can stay in control
I'm burning up in the fire of my soul
I'm burning up, there is no way
My life is like a sunny day
Always bright out never ever in the shade
Now that has all changed
There is nothing you can do to make me drown
Stop me right now
I'm not going to be the one to be held down
Even though that I'm low
I want you to know
It's time for me to ditch this heavy load
I'm burning up In the fire of my soul
I'm burning up, There is no way I can stay in control
I'm burning up in the fire of my soul
I'm burning up, there is no way
Don't want these feelings in my head
Don't want to cry my self to bed… no more
Don't want these feelings in my head
Don't want to cry my self to bed… no more
I'm burning up In the fire of my soul
I'm burning up, There is no way I can stay in control
I'm burning up in the fire of my soul
I'm burning up, there is no way
