Blowing Out the Flame

I sold my soul for diamonds

And reason for acclaim

Been begging for white angels

To blow my mind away

Been growing funny flowers

Where roses never grew

I stayed awake all night

When I woke up from dreams

Of me and you

I tried to take the sun and I went blind

God help me to erase you from my mind

I’m growing cold

And the night is yet to come

Anyone tell me is this

The way it’s meant to be

Lost and isolated

I’m way too complicated

For you to lean on me

I play a losing game

I cried in desperation

Mental devastation

I’m blowing out the flame

Self-pity gave me shelter

I always hid away in vice

Dyslexic, torn and tattered

I tried to read the signs

You never tried to take a look

At the one I’d have died to be

Now it seems you don’t see me at all

Was it all worth it

Visions holding sway

When the real thing got lost along the way

Yes anyone tell me is this

The way it’s meant to be

I’m lost and isolated

Way too complicated

For you to lean on me

I play a losing game

I cried in desperation

Mental devastation

I’m blowing out the flame

Yes anyone tell me is this

The way it’s meant to be

Lost and isolated

I’m way too complicated

For you to lean on me

I play a losing game

I cried in desperation

Mental devastation

I’m blowing out the flame
