lyrics

There was a fire
I lost myself to the charm
Behind every doorway
It met me with open arms

Would you
promise me forever if I
Forget how it feels
Would you
Give me the whole world if I
Forget what is real
Outside the fire

I was a child
You held me in your arms
I open the door and I am like a child
Again reborn

Would you
Promise me forever if I
Forget what is real
Would you
Give me the whole world if I
Forget how it feels

Crash, burn, sleep
With one eye open
Drown in dreams
Soul is broken down
I believe you're under my skin
You see behind my eyes to the murderer I am

I locked myself
In the burning room
Where the breathlessness in here
It made me dream of you

You strip me skin from bone
You see me just as I am

In spite of me
I beg for your affection
In spite of me
I torture my reflection
In spite of me (I crash, you burn)
I let you claw my eyes out
In spite of me (I crash, you burn)
For you I give my mind

Crash, burn, sleep
With one eye open
Crash, burn, sleep
Your light decays

Crash, burn, sleep
With one eye open
Crash, burn, sleep
You'll light the way
