Burning Up Songtext
von Stimmgewalt

Oh, I float alone
My body a void dome
I yield to despair
I am nowhere. (nowhere home)

Open my palm
Just to clench a fist and find a flame
I know it′s in me
I'm stretching my arms
Pretending I can rise above my mind
That doesn′t want me
To beat my melancholy

I'm burning up, I'm blazing bright
A vital spark ignites the night
The torrid pain keeps me alive
While I′m sinking down to drown
(No one is with me, nothing can catch me)
Despite the darkness I hold on
Although my hope is nearly gone


Now I am awake
My soul feels a heartache
Flee this darkening
And grow out wings. (fly away)

Mayday, mayday

Burn, burning up, burning up, up
Sink, sinking down, sinking down, down
Mayday, mayday
Boon and bane, everything in me flashes
(Burn, burn me up, falling down, down
Fire, fire me up, make me drown, drown.)
There′ll remain shadows of my wings' ashes
(Boil, boil me up, tear me down, down
Parch, parch to purge, melt me down to drown.)
Cold
(Calm)

How are the feelings blue
No thoughts to dew, to flow through


Not giving in
This is my last glare of hope to find
A new energy
A fire to rinse
My head from this morassy gloom that chokes me
And kills all my thoughts
Stop it!
Right now!
I′ll break free from all
And as my last resort

I'm burning up, I′m blazing bright
A vital spark ignites the night
The torrid pain keeps me alive
While I'm sinking down to drown
(No one is with me, nothing can catch me)
Despite the darkness I hold on
But all the gloom makes me corrode
So into darkness I implode
