I did not start the fire that I watched take you away
only you could spark a flame so hot
to send us both to hell
Condemned to break myself, to deprave myself
to strip myself of the human that hated your fire
To become a stronger animal
I will not regret you, regret the fire
A woman within a girl
A girl within a wolf
I will not regret the fire I gave you
Because watching you burn gave me
the strength to burn brighter
Amonst the ghosts of a dead dream
there is solace in their faces
in the pity in thier eyes
They know who is dead, and who is not dead enough
Like winter, and the amaryllis flowers within it
a new dream blooms in death
and the dead know who belongs here
You burned to death, but I burn within it
Condemned to break myself, to deprave myself
to strip myself of the human that hated your fire
To become a stronger animal
I will not regret you, regret the fire
A woman within a girl
A girl within a wolf
I will not regret the fire I gave you
Because watching you burn gave me
the strength to burn brighter
Death eats at you
but it looks good on me
I know how to burn brighter
I will burn a path home
I am a candle against my sins
I am a candle against my sins
