Not a Fire In My Heart
If you hold the key
The chamber of my heart
May be what you seek
But warn you I should
It is not what you expect
But you will see
You will see
A thick door covered in locks
One key could unlock them all
If you can get past the vines
And the wild overgrowth
When the door finally turns
Ah but you will see
You will see
A solemn chamber of solitude
And me upon a decaying throne
For I am King Nothing
And this is my final domain
I ponder as your eyes wander
But you will see
You will see
Even in this dilapidated place
A smile adorns my lonely face
For in my chamber I have company
At long last I am no longer King Nothing
For you have brought peace at last
And I will see
I will see
The torches lit with flames
The dying flowers rise proudly
Showered with my tears
For you a small act of kindness
But for me it changed my world
And I will see
I will see
The beauty of this world at last
When my heart has been repaired
But your greatest act was not yet done
For you took my hand and pulled me out
So I could be blessed by sunlight
With tears in my eyes I finally see
I finally see
