"The Fire" lyrics

"The Fire"

I'll light the fuse and I'll set the dam to blow,
flooding the entire town below and all that I've known.
What wasn't nailed down will be washed away.
My hands are shaking but I will not hesitate.
I found the strength to face.
Because the place I fear the most,
is the place I have to go to see the truth.

"It's okay to feel lost, it just means you're alive",
I've told myself a thousand times.
From the ashes we will rise.
It's okay to feel lost, walk through the flames and see,
you're only left with what you need.
We're only here for the journey.

Am I bold enough to be underlined?
Like sand sifting through time, it all falls in line.
Life is a minefield and on one side I'm stuck.
I broke the key on the door I tried to unlock.
I'm never giving up.
Because the things that haunt you are the things you didn't do.
Not what you did.

"It's okay to feel lost, it just means you're alive",
I've told myself a thousand times.
From the ashes we will rise.
It's okay to feel lost, walk through the flames and see,
you're only left with what you need.
We're only here for the journey.

We find the truth through tragedy!

I'm finding new ways to make the same mistakes.
Putting my dreams onto paper and then folding them into planes.
Then I let them go because when in Rome.
I set fire to what I love the most!

I just want to feel alive!
I just want to feel alive!

It's okay to feel lost...
It's okay to feel lost...

"It's okay to feel lost, it just means you're alive",
I've told myself a thousand times.
From the ashes we will rise.
It's okay to feel lost, walk through the flames and see,
you're only left with what you need.
We're only here for the journey.

We'll find the truth through tragedy!
