Sparks Rise

Echos of you follow me
Every time that I see myself
Meteors fall in my hands
And I can't understand
How I'm still alive

Sparks rise
Behind my eyes
But still I can't see
Through the dark

How do I
Have a heartbeat that was
Never mine
Where's tomorrow for a fleeting life
If their hero's only half alive

I don't want to answer the
Shadows cast
By the flames
I left in our past

Projected dreams in my blood
And I can't escape from myself
But I was cut open by love
And I saw under my skin
Everything was me

Sparks rise
Before my eyes
This time from
A hero's heart

Somehow I
Find the courage to avert my eyes
Touched by all the scars
You left behind
I'll go on like i'm not terrified

I don't want to answer the
Shadows cast
By the flames
I left in our past

Crystallized reflections in winter's blade
Only catch the parts of me
That define my loyalty
I set fires with the heat in my veins
Belonging to destinies
Written by the spark in me

Lessons learned
I've captured the sun
I won't get burned
Too bright for the shadows to return
I wield my ice and fire in turn

Sparks rise
Before my eyes
This time from
A hero's heart
