It's Not Your Fault
I’m scorched aflame by passionate desire
You weren’t the one who heartlessly threw me
Into the rainbow flames of the undying fire
It isn’t your fault at all, my baby of empathy
Scorch aflame with me today or tonight,
Sad shame that embraced me oh so tight
Fire me away entirely and let go out of sight
Burn away the lament and fight for peace with your might
It isn’t your fault, oh no it never was your fault
That I’m so lost and my dreams went to a halt
Caught in darkness and its chains
Dealing awfully with its daily pains
It isn’t your fault, your fault
I fell into corruption’s occult
And now I’m trying to get out
No doubt I’m trying to walk His route
Clap your hands and dance into the fire now
You weren’t the one who refused my hand
And resentfully and spitefully ran so fast somehow
It isn’t your fault at all, don’t you understand?
Scorch aflame with me today or tonight,
Sad shame that embraced me oh so tight
Fire me away entirely and let go out of sight
Burn away the lament and fight for peace with your might
It isn’t your fault, oh no it never was your fault
That I’m so lost and my dreams went to a halt
Caught in darkness and its chains
Dealing awfully with its daily pains
It isn’t your fault, your fault
I fell into corruption’s occult
And now I’m trying to get out
No doubt I’m trying to walk His route
I watched you fall away into the abyssal vortex
I tried to grab your hand and make things less complex
But, I ended up constantly blaming myself for your crestfallen soul
My heart bleeds and beats and bears so much burdens for you as a whole
Scorch aflame with me today or tonight,
Sad shame that embraced me oh so tight
Fire me away entirely and let go out of sight
Burn away the lament and fight for peace with your might
It isn’t your fault, oh no it never was your fault
That I’m so lost and my dreams went to a halt
Caught in darkness and its chains
Dealing awfully with its daily pains
It isn’t your fault, your fault
I fell into corruption’s occult
And now I’m trying to get out
No doubt I’m trying to walk His route
Baby, it’s not your fault
It’s my own and I own it - well, I hope you know
Baby, it’s not your fault
It’s all because of me and that’s why I’m so low
It isn’t your fault, your fault
I fell into corruption’s occult
And now I’m trying to get out
No doubt I’m trying to walk His route
