The moments in between the words I hear you speak Desolate and clear, leave me feeling weak And I just want to see a beautiful world in my dreams But all I see is me in the center of all I see Now I feel like a constant in a world that is fading All I've been taught to recall simply fails to persuade me The truth tends to sting while it heals And the only way back is screaming the words Oh my God, what have I become? I feel this fire burn Burn till' I'm undone, never to return Oh I remember when the wind brought heaven's scent And stars that filled the sky drew a line between you and I Oh my God, what have I become? I feel this fire burn Burn till' I'm undone, never to return Lift up your voice loud I declare myself this hour Simply dust that's entrusted with such a peculiar fire Oh my God, what have I become? I feel this fire burn Burn till' I'm undone, never to return There's nothing like living asleep, it's some hazy dream Then your eyes open see what they never see Oh the first time that my gaze fell upon this place How I shudder to think what I've become
