Pulled by fickle vines
Set this heart on fire
What utter restraint
I am bound on my own
Burn my soul
I want to burn
I want to burn to lifeAnd if I don't break this down
Set this heart on fire
Wrapped in my body
Of metal bars
And my hair of chains
Burn my soul
I want to burn
I want to burn to lifeIf my mind flies away
Set this heart on fire
And carry my breath
Upward like smoke
Because I have no wings
Burn my soul
I want to burn
I want to burn to lifeAnd if I hold my whim
Set this heart on fire
Let it melt it's cage
And stretch out like
Flexing tendons over bone
Burn my soul
I want to burn
I want to burn alive
