VERSE 1:
find the tinder, anything dry and fibrous
looking for spare pieces of wood to light a fire with
making a bow and bending sticks but breaking the bones with every hit
of verbs and nouns to make you strong
but not for long, you tried complying
you're not surviving unless you're having a flame inside
only playing games and mistaking the flame for blazing eyes
piercing in your thoughts, giving a feeling that you cant describe
hearing the whisper so vividly given your state of mind
the cold touch of lust is feeling kinda warm to you
coursing through your veins and of course filling your pores
liquid matter pouring out from the brain, but not a prayer
in short, you've closed the doors to the gate that longs for more
and you stay gratified in the seemingly satisfying woman
amassing pride and lacking might as if you fight for nothing
among the running discussions that bust your thoughts wide open
seductive voices repeat, "enjoy the moment" indeed
HOOK 1:
but now you're caught in the wrong flame that burns you
hurts you, but gives you all the temporary pleasures
you turn to the monster that you thought wouldn't concern you
lamenting to yourself and now you're evidently severed (2x)
VERSE 2:
voices in my head bashing on my actions
stabbing my very passions and naturally making it bleed out
as i seek out reasoning within my dreams
i seem to be handing myself a hammer slamming at my casket
my cold hands were never truly heated by that wrong flame
the octanes that sparked up could never measure to the ceiling
the voice is back, "look at the fruit, i bet that you could eat it"
but looking carefully i saw the rotting flesh of it
thought that i inspected it
forgot that God had banished it
acting with an attitude that trashed his very excellence
done with that life, done with my titles
comes with a price to run from the idols
but worth it for the love that is viral
finally found it, a fire higher than a mountain
smoldering within my core and bursting like a fountain
i heard the church bells ring, i'm yearning patiently
i felt the burning the perfect person had placed in me
HOOK 2:
and now i'm caught in the right flame that fills me
the real me? revealed; now i'm ready to be changed
but will he? i'm sure of it. it's nothing to be burdened with
love Him in return and live to elevate his name
