[Verse 1] You made me think that I was chosen You told me I was loved Said I needed to be broken I had a mission from above You placed your laws in my hand And put a fire on my tongue I burned a path at your command I couldn't see what I'd become [Pre-Chorus] But fire burns both ways Until it's only ashes that remain [Verse 2] When I awoke I crawled to safety But when I stood I turned around I saw the monster you had made me I saw the blood that soaked the ground The fire raging up inside me Burning away what you let in I tore you out till I was empty Like it would wash away the sin I kept cutting off the pieces Pushing memories from my mind Parts of me I couldn't keep Parts of me I couldn't find I had fought so hard to get here Finally miles from your cell But I couldn't shake your spectre Burning in my own hell [Pre-Chorus] But fire burns both ways Until it's only ashes that remain [Chorus] So let the fire go out I don't need it anymore I can't be free If I'm still fighting this war So let the fire die I don't need its light Time to walk away Fade into the night I don't need your flames to know where to go I'll find my way in the afterglow [Bridge] I've been letting you define me Even when you're not there I was so focused on the damage I never thought to repair I thought I could erase you But your mark's a part of me So I'll step out from the ashes It's time to let myself be free [Chorus] So let the fire go out I don't need it anymore I can't be free If I'm still fighting this war So let the fire die I don't need its light Time to walk away Fade into the night I don't need your flames to know where to go I'll find my way in the afterglow
