Slow Burn Lyrics - Atreyu

It begins with a dark glowing ember 

something black burning its way out of me 

Searing the flesh 

pain is the only thing I feel 

scars all I see 

Oh no the fires burning my insides again 

what can I do to silence my desire tonight? 

Face consumer reason leaving only ashes left 

you will catch me regretting my decision 

I can't keep telling myself what I want to hear 

I can't just close my eyes 

(Chorus) 

I know that it's killing me 

and it's poisoning the best of me 

what I see, I don't want to believe 

So let me tell you more, tell you more 

about the lies I lead

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

That is how I chose to douse the flames in gasoline 

Broken teeth replace the blackout memories in my head 

Wreckage from the past haunts me, shakes me to the bone 

(to the bone) 

I know it's over but I can't go home tonight 

And after this I feel as empty as the night before 

feel the pain and yet I'm still begging for more 

Masochistic, nihilistic, urging backward thought 

My life's a mess and I can't find a way to fix it 

I can't keep telling myself what I want to hear 

I can't just close my eyes 

(my eyes, my eyes, my fucking eyes) 

(Chorus) 

I know that it's killing me 

and it's poisoning the best of me 

what I see, I don't want to believe 

So let me tell you more, tell you more 

about the lies I lead 

Photos 

Calling, calling out 

The darkest reaches of my soul 

are riddled with self-doubt 

Crawling, crawling out 

my will to fight will more than suffice 

when others would lay down 

It's only as dark as you make it 

(Chorus) 

I know that it's killing me 

and it's poisoning the best of me 

what I see, I don't want to believe 

So let me tell you more, tell you more 

about the lies I lead
