My Vision Aflame

Impossible to burst my bubble of invincibility
Invisible to all human beings, so I need a mere remedy
Scatterbrained, but I remain in my lane of thought again, again, again
It doesn’t matter that I’m drained anymore and defeated by a million men

My vision is a burning flame of fearless frustration
You lock lips with my lonely state of mind
My mission is to be one with your soothing sensation
You mock me with words that aren’t kind

My vision aflame, aflame
Got me feeling for game
Got me fighting the blame off my shoulders
Got me breaking a billion tension-built boulders
My vision aflame, aflame
Got me dealing with shame
I’m manic and I’m in panic as I engrave myself in my lonesomeness
My presence of butterflies flutter in my mindset of happy distress

Unable to move forward unless I’m extremely under pressure
Enduring till the end and fleeing from the countless scars of my past like shooting stars so vast
Trying to find a cure from this sinful nature of mine, so damn impure
I need some kind of relief from this bittersweet grief that buried itself alive inside me so fast 

My vision is a burning flame of fearless frustration
You lock lips with my lonely state of mind
My mission is to be one with your soothing sensation
You mock me with words that aren’t kind

My vision aflame, aflame
Got me feeling for game
Got me fighting the blame off my shoulders
Got me breaking a billion tension-built boulders
My vision aflame, aflame
Got me dealing with shame
I’m manic and I’m in panic as I engrave myself in my lonesomeness
My presence of butterflies flutter in my mindset of happy distress

I have sought over your long lost soul of shameless love
Smitten by a beating, unbearable heart that flies like a dove
In my shell in hiding, I’m hiding
Colliding, colliding, oh colliding

My vision is a burning flame of fearless frustration
You lock lips with my lonely state of mind
My mission is to be one with your soothing sensation
You mock me with words that aren’t kind

My vision aflame, aflame
Got me feeling for game
Got me fighting the blame off my shoulders
Got me breaking a billion tension-built boulders
My vision aflame, aflame
Got me dealing with shame
I’m manic and I’m in panic as I engrave myself in my lonesomeness
My presence of butterflies flutter in my mindset of happy distress

I’m in my hushed shell in revealing, in revealing
Concealing, concealing the heavenly healing
That starts from within, from within
That scars us through thick and thin

My vision is a burning flame of fearless frustration
You lock lips with my lonely state of mind
My mission is to be one with your soothing sensation
You mock me with words that aren’t kind

My vision aflame, aflame
Got me feeling for game
Got me fighting the blame off my shoulders
Got me breaking a billion tension-built boulders
My vision aflame, aflame
Got me dealing with shame
I’m manic and I’m in panic as I engrave myself in my lonesomeness
My presence of butterflies flutter in my mindset of happy distress

My vision aflame…
I remain a lion, untamed in the sun
Life’s a difficult game
I am sane and I become so undone
My vision aflame…
I am in vain as I float like a dandelion
Strife leads to shame
So, please ease me now in the long run
