Burn My Soul Away

I try to get through life

I try harder every day

I hide the darkness that resides

I hide the the pain that eats away

I try to get through life

I try to find a way

I try to kill the past

I try to soothe the pain

I know somehow I'll lose

I know somehow one day?

I look out every way

I try to find a peace

I keep the flames at bay

I just somehow know the truth that

I'm stoking the fire that will burn my soul away.
