I want you to know how it feels,

When your wounds never heal...

I saw it in the trees,

And felt it in the breeze,

It's cut too deep now,

I'm brought to my knees.

And sadly I regret,

Things I've said and done.

But life's not over yet,

So let's go have some fun!

We've all got pain and hate,

That we just don't let go.

And we've all tempted fate,

Though it doesn't really show.

We try a little harder,

Each and every day.

Inside us a firestarter,

with emotion in it's way.

Let it free and watch,

As all around you burns.

All the sheep and thier flocks,

Who knew they'd never learn?

But when the flame dwindles,

And slowly you look back,

You'll no longer be vengeful,

Nor so willing to attack.

Because your life was wasted,

By all of your success.

They were happy to get rid,

Of the unwanted stress.

So don't forget where you started,

and where the heart is.

Don't become these wreckless fools,

Who don't know what thier part is.
