Fade in the Fire

I’ve been chasing light in shadows,

Loving ghosts that never stay.

You call me when your storm breaks,

Then you drift like smoke away.

Every word you left unspoken

Cuts me deeper than your lies.

You’re a fever I keep holding,

But I’m burning every night.

(Pre-Chorus)

You said I’m your angel,

Then you left me in the rain.

Now I’m praying to a silence

That keeps whispering your name.

(Chorus)

I’m fading in the fire,

Losing pieces of my faith.

Trying to fix what you desire,

While I break in my own cage.

You don’t even see the battle,

You don’t feel the way I bleed.

I gave you all my power,

Now I’m crawling back to me.

(Verse 2)

You’ve been high on your distractions,

While I drowned inside my head.

I mistook your quiet absence

For a wound that could be fed.

Every time I try to heal me,

I get lost in your perfume.

You’re the calm that turns to chaos,

Every time I’m close to you.

(Pre-Chorus)

You said I’m your angel,

Then you left me in the rain.

Now I’m staring at the ceiling,

And it’s calling out your name.

(Chorus)

I’m fading in the fire,

Losing pieces of my faith.

Trying to fix what you desire,

While I break in my own cage.

You don’t even see the battle,

You don’t feel the way I bleed.

I gave you all my power,

Now I’m crawling back to me.

(Bridge)

Maybe love’s a cruel religion,

Maybe I was born to feel.

Maybe pain’s the only language

That reminds me I am real.

And if you ever hear this echo,

Know I meant it when I cried —

You were heaven in my chaos,

Now I’m learning to survive.

(Outro)

I’m fading in the fire…

Still searching for the peace I lost in you.

Fading in the fire…

But this time, I’ll make it through.
