Child Is Burning Time

Child of burning time 
The child of burning time 

My only consolation is a lie 
The apex of my consequence is dying here tonight 
Winter hasn't ended and it always looks like rain 
I cant remember anything...anything 
Inside the absolution, we succumb 
And appetites are bittersweet I think I'm going numb 
A chance to give up Avarice has marked my one regret 
The child of burning time has gone, he hasn't come back yet 

Before I tell my story please consider who I am 
I missed my window years ago, I'm doing all I can 
A tragedy is commonplace but in the end they go away 
My skin is still the only stain I'm left to wear in shame 
I cut my name into my heart, I'll tear it all apart 
I beg you burn me away, 
I won't become your hero just to fight the life I save 
Burn me away, 
I won't give up tomorrow just to lose it all today 

I burn away 
I burn away 
I burn away 
I burn away 

My isolation is my course 
The effect it has on life itself is a cancer on its source 
I rue the moments spent between the fetish and the flame 
Until this war is over I won't ever lose my rage 

I cut my name into my soul, I guess I'll never know 
I beg you burn me away, 
I won't become your hero just to fight the life I save 
Burn me away, 
I won't give up tomorrow just to lose it all today 

Burn me away, 
I wont become your hero just to fight the life I save 
Burn me away, 
I wont give up tomorrow just to lose it all, lose it all today
