Just Beneath the Flames

We were kings and queens of bedlam
We were happy to exist
In discomfort we've created
Though we dreamed of more than this
We had embers in our bloodlines
Iron lungs beneath our skin
Though our hearts were barely beating
We were bleeding out within

We're at a stalemate
Begging for the earth to shake
Wondering if the winds will change and blow us all away
We are in the dark age
Tell me it was worth the pain
Will the wild winds sing again and blow us all away

Or will we stay
Everything the same
Oh, stay
Just beneath the flames
Just beneath the flames

We were weary of the future
How the days drew on and on
With our eyes so widely open
Trying to see where we'd gone wrong
We were bold and we were brazen
But grew timid over time
In our fear we lost direction
And our dreams left us behind

We're at a stalemate
Begging for the earth to shake
Wonder if the winds will change and blow us all away
We are in the dark age
Tell me it was worth the pain
Will the wild winds sing again and blow us all away

Or will we stay
Everything the same
Oh, stay
Waiting for a change
Oh, stay
Just beneath the flames
Just beneath the flames

(Blew us all away)
(Blew us all away)

Stay
Everything the same
Oh, stay
Just beneath the flames
Just beneath the flames

(Blew us all away)
(Blew us all away)
(Blew us all away)
Just beneath the flames
(Blew us all away)
Just beneath the flames
