Just one spark

Am Em

Is all it takes

I tried so hard

Am Em

But it all goes up in flames

[Pre-chorus]

This is not the way that I thought

I would turn out to be

Tried to give but all that I got

Was more insanity

Broken everything that I've touched

It's gone against me

Em Am Em

I can't get away

[Chorus]

From the fire

That burns inside, consuming

I fight to stay alive

Am Em

But I can't breathe

The voices scream

The enemy

Takes over everything

This is the madness in me
