Pain Remains I: Dancing Like Flames

Captivate me Become my escape I can't look away You were my everything If the past is just dust Then the future could be our dream If all we have is now, this eternity Ignite my satisfaction, engulf me We're dancing like flames, flickering in the night We sway in time with the wind before melting away You're far from my reach but not far out of sight You know the way to my heart but you just play the strings again Flicker like shadows dancing beyond the flame Captivate, hypnotized by the fire in her eyes You took me by surprise And then you disappeared in the blink of an eye Pull me into the pyre Engulf me in flames Captivate me, eidolon, gravity Magnetic, pull me toward my ecstasy We're dancing like flames, flickering in the night We sway in time with the wind before melting away You're far from my reach but not far out of sight You know the way to my heart but you just play the strings again Flicker like shadows dancing beyond the flames Enchanting, mesmerized Take what is left of my life A wrinkle in time Where did you go? A wrinkle in time Take what is left of my life Before you go, show me what it's like to finally know The face behind the silhouette In this world I made to be infinite But within the expanse, I finally see A world without you isn't meant for me Where do you go when I close my eyes? What do you see looking back at me? Am I just a ghost just like you, caught between the Seams of two intertwining melodies?
