and even so...

"flashbacks are all I've got to look forward to"
I see strange things in this town-
this one broke my heart.

it goes without saying that this could never be me,
my past is too haunted
yet my heart still breaks

(when I'm lacking pain)
I tap into everyone else's
a monster in the shadows-

the ties are severing
desperately trying to hold together
as they are pried apart

what will I become?
can a calm spirit still be...
free?

I'd like to say I'm scared
as you whisper in my ear-
daring me

a more tempting taunt
than the flames ever were.
