In Flames

stole into my mind
a tiny flicker
saw the spark and tried to put it out
but my heart went up in flames

you gave me pain and ecstasy
you gave me joy and misery
until I couldn’t see them apart
but I believed in love

felt it in my soul
strychnine on my tongue
devastated my lungs
but my heart went up in flames

you brought me to life
was all I saw
and you’re still in my dreams
and I still believe in love
