i awoke in the middle of the night
with burned out candle light on my face
as i watch the room darken and light fade
i wonder if this is the time or place

and as the fire turns to dust
and all the metal in my viens rust
ill still be right here
watching regret turn to fear

have you ever had
the fire catch your bed
and it bursts into a sea of flames

before i go to sleep,
i put away my dreams.
i keep open my eyes,
to keep you outside.

sleep over takes my mind,
and i leave it all behind.
to pictures and thoughts of you,
inside my mind.

so hows the aftertaste,
the bittersweet aftertaste.
dreams of you become
nightmares to me.

i need to burn
to dry myself of
all the i love yous
and hopefully i can
make use of the ash
to be someone new
who doesnt need you

have you ever had
the fire catch your bed
and it bursts into a sea of flames

sea of flames
