Lyric Flame

Bruised she feels
Insecure and jilted
Like a thief he tried to steel her soul
Slyer than his easy smile
He tried to use her for a while
Underneath she s empty as a whole

Oh flame s still burning
She s not learning
Can t keep turning
Back discarded memories
Dusty thoughts
Start to tease her

Loaded with ammunition
Coded by her ambition
He fires a sweet talk into defenseless she
Shot and numb with poison words
She struggles uselessly
Unhurt a slave to his cruel captivity

Oh flame s still burning
She s not learning
Can t keep turning
Back discarded memories
Dusty thoughts
Start to tease her

It s all a game
For him to play
He trank a deep
And threw her away
Deluding her
No illusion is numb

Cynicism neared his head
And left his appetite
Unfed
Alone all his brilliant words
Are dead

Oh flame s still burning
She s not learning
Can t keep turning
Back discarded memories
Dusty thoughts
Start to tease her

He turned her world to black
But she s stopped looking back
Tattooed it all in black
Discretion is the key
To his reality
And she feels now she s free
So she chooses then and there
To leave without a care
She goes into the dusk
As easy as a breeze
No longer on her knees
Her soul is now at peace
