My fear is looking for who to blame
A lit match ignites an angry flame
And when reduced to a smoldering
It wants a hot flash of rage like kerosene
What's the harm
If the fire keeps me warm?
The catch is
The kindling is my spirit
In the end
I never burned anything down
Only myself
From the inside out
The inside out
In the end
I didn't keep safe from the fallout
It ate me away
From the inside out
The inside out
The inside out
I hold it close like an enemy
A fool's cover against uncertainty
Wrapped in a shadow that only grows
It is a cheap comfort, this devil that I know
I wear despair
Like a buffer from what's out there
The catch is
It's smothering my spirit
In the end
I never burned anything down
Only myself
From the inside out
The inside out
In the end
I didn't keep safe from the fallout
It ate me away
From the inside out
The inside out
The inside out
Oh oh oh
I've got to let go
The tighter I hold
The more it's out of control
Oh oh oh
I've got to got to let go
The tighter I hold
The more it's out of control
In the end
I never burned anything down
Only myself
From the inside out
In the end
I didn't keep safe from the fallout
It ate me away
From the inside out
The inside out
In the end
I never burned anything down
Only myself
From the inside out
The inside out
The inside out
