I am wordsI am speaking

I never heard my conclusion

Lost the way in my confusionin illusion

Lost inside the picture frame



I'm not to blameI didn't see the black flame

I'm not ashamedit's poetrythe black flame

I'm rearrangedit's changing methe black flame

Burns my blackened brain



I am strongI am leaving

I never knew I'd feel the need so

Where to goI'll turn the flowI could not know

Screams inside the burning pain



It's spinning headit's under hand--the black flame

It lies insteadI turned and I ran--the black flame

On meit fedi understand--the black flame

Burns my blackened brain



Run from medon't you see

That we are one and I'm a part of you

Get awayany way

I'm still a secret in the heart of you

And I'm the burning in your soul



Now I'm weakI am losing

I never thought I'd stop trying

I'm a lieI'm just a sighjust a crying

Just a symbol of the game



Suspended painI can not face the black flame

Intended fearI can not trace the black flame

Extended reaching into space--the black flame

Burns my blackened brain
