Fire In My Eyes

Empty house, shadows on the wall

Words left hanging, nights that crawl

I hit the floor, thought I’d be gone

But embers woke me at the dawn

Something snapped inside my chest

A spark ignited, wouldn’t rest

Smoke in my lungs, fire ignites

I’m back on my feet tonight

Fire in my eyes

No promises tonight

Still breathing smoke

Still crossing lines

Call it a sin

Call it a sign

I don’t burn out

I burn on

*(Post-Chorus echo: “I burn on… I burn on…”)

Drank my grief like bitter wine

Slow and dark, but I survived

Ashes behind me, streets ahead

Every scar a badge instead

I’m taking back the life I lost

This blaze is mine, no matter the cost

Don’t look for who I was before

The fire’s changed me to the core

Fire in my eyes

No promises tonight

Still breathing smoke

Still crossing lines

Call it a sin

Call it a sign

I don’t burn out

I burn on

*(Post-Chorus echo: “I burn on… I burn on…”)

I’m not soft, I’m not the same

Step too close, you’ll feel the flame

Paid my dues, survived the night

The fire’s burning, bold and bright

Fire in my eyes

No promises tonight

Still breathing smoke

Still crossing lines

Call it a sin

Call it a sign

I don’t burn out

I burn on

*(Post-Chorus echo: “I burn on… I burn on…”)
