Set Me Free

Hook
Fires burning all around, ashes falling to the ground
Someone save me, set me free
Smoke it settles on my skin, don't play with fire, you'll never win
Someone save me, set me free

Verse 1
I feel it building within me, every second that I breathe
There's a hunger deep inside, a yearning to be free
I don't know what it is, but it's been a long time
This pounding's beating through my chest, I think it has its own mind
Pacing through this room, banging my fist on the wall
Seems to me my emotions love to battle with my ego, it's my biggest downfall
I've crashed and burned on this path of life so many damn times it's hard to feel any pain at all
Silently I cry, some nights I feel it never ends
Toss and turn in my bed
Wonder if whoever's on the other side of life could ever comprehend
That all the pain that I've caused, I really hope one day I could mend
But I think now it's too late, I feel too far gone
So many years have passed by since I last saw my mom
I could blame my faults on that, maybe it's an excuse
But how the fuck would you feel if your mother's death became your muse?

Chorus
Fires burning all around, ashes falling to the ground
Someone save me, set me free
Smoke it settles on my skin, don't play with fire, you'll never win
Someone save me, set me free

Verse 2
I've always been a walking contradiction in my own flesh
So many times I've run away to turn around and regress
Right back to the same shit without cleaning up my mess
So much pride that I hide when I suppress all my depression to later break down and confess
It's a challenge in itself to find the right words to express
All these thoughts in my head
Let's address that I'm a Gemini so I could really care less
Or I'll completely obsess, there's no in between, nonetheless
I know that I've gotta make peace with my past
Push the pieces into place, part with the demons that have passed
Put aside the pent up anger that has pulled me down for years
Find forgiveness for my brother and just be thankful that he's still here
There's a lot I carry around, I'm surprised I'm still standing
28 years old and life has been so demanding
From taking away my family and forcing me to grow
To embodying this conflicted monster you now have come to know

Chorus
Fires burning all around, ashes falling to the ground
Someone save me, set me free
Smoke it settles on my skin, don't play with fire, you'll never win
Someone save me, set me free

Bridge
I've always tried exposing all this pain that I've been holding through every song I've been composing
It's slowly showing that it's exposing to the point it's overflowing
And it's too late to stop it now
This is all I've ever known ever since I was left alone
And all the faces I had known? (They're burning now)
All my angels now have flown and all the places I once called home?
(They're burning down)
There's nothing left now

Chorus
Fires burning all around, ashes falling to the ground
Someone save me, set me free
Smoke it settles on my skin, don't play with fire, you'll never win
Someone save me, set me free
