[Intro]

Another reckless way to stay awake

I let my past make all the same mistakes

The pressure fills the silence in my wake

I've reached the burning of my empty flame

Empty flame


[Verse 1]

Speaking in tongues, my mind can't make it right

I've lost control of my silence lately

Just drown it out, all the piercing sounds

That tell me “Rest comes easy”


[Pre-Chorus]

Pictures of tunnel vision creep back to my mind

You know damn well what the outcome is

(Carеlessness burns to an empty flamе)

(To an empty flame)

I've reached the burning of my empty flame


[Chorus]

Give in

Fly to the sun

Away from sins

Feed what you've become


[Verse 2]

Saying “Save me”

Pressure's failing

Floods of the past

Can't let go of the image where I'm dead


[Pre-Chorus]

A haunting picture of tunnel vision manifests my fear

You know damn well what the outcome was

It's no wonder

I've reached the burning of my empty flame


[Chorus]

Give in

Fly to the sun

Away from sins

Feed what you've become

The taste of bitter light

Keeps the silence away at night

And it's all an excuse when I'm stuck in the flow at eventide


[Bridge]

Stuck in the eventide

Won't sleep another night

Maybe this time will change

I'll push past my escape

I've reached the burning of my empty flame


[Chorus]

(Give in)

Fly to the sun

Away from sins

Feed what you've become

The taste of bitter light

Keeps the silence away at night

And it's all an excuse when I'm stuck in the flow at eventide


[Outro]

Empty flame
