Lyrics for The Flame (Is Gone)

I see you trembling like the Earth is falling from your feet Like you've never felt the ground before An indication that you're over your head again That you don't know how to settle the score I would be lying if I told you that I didn't know The way that you could fix it all If you're stacking your problems like a pile of bricks You gotta knock down the wall Before someone like you breaks you and puts you in the ground Do the heavens ever spare the crop when the winter falls? Could we really hide if the Reaper calls? And so it goes, the lamb will be led to the loam And you will return I see a hesitating grimace held above your chin Like you haven't thought of this before And though the sentiment keeps you from letting go You know it's irresistible To hear those voices hush, you must be cold In times when peace of mind is bought and sold 'Cause someone like you would break you and put you in the ground Do the heavens ever spare the crop when the winter falls? Could we really hide if the Reaper calls? And so it goes, the lamb will be led to the loam And you won't return Don't you want to see him fall apart So you can pick the pieces up and put him back together? Finally building up the perfect pawn? Another shadow lost in the dark Another shadow lost in the dark
