That at a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what's happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate. That's the world's greatest lie." - Paulo Coelho


I can't show you the way
but I know you have what it takes
to not break
from his lies

and I can’t show you tomorrow
but I know you have what it takes
to go with the flow
to stay out of trouble

just for one day
I’ll see your face
I’ll see your face

and from them after
your lies won’t leave a trace
a trace on me

tonight I am fire
suffocating bliss
extinguishing this
life you made for me

tonight I am fire
burning all the people
that stand in my way
so I can live a life I lead

you think I’m crazy
you’ll never understand me
but I’m perfect the way I am
you’ll see

it’s not your happy ever after
oh no I wrote another chapter
that complements me
and makes you weak

just for one day
I’ll see your face
ill see your face

and from them after
your lies won’t leave a trace
a trace on me

tonight I am fire
suffocating bliss
extinguishing this
life you made for me

tonight I am fire
burning all the people
that stand in my way
so I can live a life I lead

you go away
far off to another place
but you bounce back
you attack
the deepest part of me
how can I say no
how can I go
I’m too weak
to be freed
but on day
these shackles must be released

just for one day
I’ll see your face
ill see your face

and from them after
your lies won’t leave a trace
a trace on me

tonight I am fire
suffocating bliss
extinguishing this
life you made for me

tonight I am fire
burning all the people
that stand in my way
so I can live a life I lead

tonight I am fire
tonight I break free
