Light Inside

A girl, A man, and fire

By Finish The lyricPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Under me is a boat

Between me and the water

You sit in the boat to hear my opinions about life

But my words don’t stick

In one ear out the other,

Go home pack, pack your bags

Grab your things run out the door

Here he comes she wants no more

The fire in his eyes burn brighter than the sun

You put out the flame but still there lies a stark,

100,000 miles away

Your life starts new

She put on a smile to signal she’s okay

All is going well until your pushed to your limits

The look they give you builds your fire

You lose control and it sends you into the dark,

Finally, on the right path, your life is getting better

Until his fire returns and has more power than ever

STOP!

You try your best but your bests not enough,

The fires too big, too uncontrolled to handle,

You lose grip only for a second,

Then find yourself seeing what is left,

A boat, A man, A fire, A girl,

Till it all goes away,

She sees you good as gone,

Just enough fuel to make a fire of her own,

To do what she thought she could never do before,

BANG!

Now his fire is gone and with it all her pain,

But now she hears the sirens,

Louder and louder the roar,

And the only way for it to stop is if she wakes up.
