As I stand amidst this fire, burning alive
From this guilt and this shame
And yet I have done nothing
But slowly feed myself to the flames
It feels too late to try and find beauty in this flesh of mine
I have no faith in dreams, belief in anything
As the hours and the days go by
I reach out for a hope that never comes
Now the Love that once was shared has been washed up on
The shorelines of torn sons and daughters
This is a natural disaster
Gasping for every breath of air
It has all become so clear to me
This pain is real, this fear is all too real
