lyrics

Verse 1
There's a fire burning tonight
A funeral pyre for their hopes and dreams to ignite
And as the embers spark and catch the flame
There's nothing left for them to say
We won't be put out

Chorus 1
The smoke is rising
And it's clouding what we know
Complicating our breathing
Still we're glowing like the bright show

Verse 2
For years, they've been our guides
Telling us where to go, what to do, and who to be like
But as we stray from the beaten path
We watch the sky as it turns to black
And know we've made our own light

Chorus 2
The smoke is rising
And it's clouding what we know
Complicating our breathing
Still we're glowing like the bright lights that shine in front of us
And here we stand, untouchable
Watching the fire melt away
Who we used to be

Bridge
Now they see we've welded shut the cracks in our glass souls
Unable to convalesce, they relinquish control

Chorus 3
The smoke is rising
And it's clouding what we know
Complicating our breathing
Still we're glowing like the bright lights that shine in front of us
And here we stand, untouchable
Watching the ashes that remain
Of who we used to be

Who we used to be
Who we used to be
Who we used to be
