[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1 ] I hold a high and noble name I’m bound to all this social fame My husband brags of his career I find no joy or ardor here [Verse 2] A stranger stands before my eyes Unmoved by all the polished lies He shows a self I’ve never known And wakes a part I thought was gone [Pre-Chorus] I wonder if I should stay still Or lose myself to my own will No prayer can save me from the fall I’m ready now to lose it all [Chorus] The fervor burns inside my skin It pulls me deeper from within I never lived until this day The life I had is gone away [Verse 3] I stop pretending I have grace I’ve fallen from my noble place I only fear for my own son The damage cannot be undone [Verse 4] The flowers died and left a thorn From passion, jealousy was born I’m cast aside by everyone They used to cheer, but now I’m shunned [Instrumental Solo] [Bridge] The world is pressing into me The tracks are grinding underneath No longer knowing what is true The answer is beyond my view [Pre-Chorus] I'm banished from my only home This bitter path I walk alone I played with fire until I burned Way past the point of no return [Chorus] The fervor’s feeding on my skin There’s no escape from what’s within His eyes now seek a younger face I don’t belong in any place [Outro] I cannot bear this crushing weight I feel it's time to meet my fate To hell with what they all decree There's nothing more inside of me [Instrumental Ending] [End]
