Ring of Fire

A-1000

I watched the light crawl through the blinds

Another world we've left behind

You looked at me like I'm not there

This room's too hot to even care

We're speaking less we thinking more

The none of it can fix the flaw

It cracks but need the words we say

We both just trying not to stay

The silence burns like gasoline

And I can't breathe I can't be seen

The time between us turns to ash

The shadow fade in from the flash

Our echoes caught inside the flame

No one here remembers name

 

The gears are grinding through the noise

Too hot to hold, too cold for choice

No pause, no oil, no time to cool

We’re overheating, breaking rules

Friction rising in our bones

We’re falling fast but not alone

Can’t fake a calm we never knew

This flame was always meant for two

 

We’re trapped inside a ring of fire

No more peace, just getting higher

Ashes fall where love once stood

Now it’s gone, misunderstood

The sun don’t set, it only stares

No shade left in this affair

Everything we felt before

Is melting through a furnace door

 

Can’t escape the heat tonight

No more stars, no end in sight

Burning slow, but burning sure

This is pain we can’t ignore

Draw the line and cross again

Every touch is searing skin

We loved too deep, now we expire

Caught inside this ring of fire

 

The windows sweat, the glass is thin

Our thoughts too loud to hold within

I see the ember in your stare

You’re here but not completely there

We’re ghosts that breathe but don’t respond

Both pretending to move on

We chase the cool, we fan the flame

But nothing here will be the same

 

The signs were glowing, we looked through

Too bright to face, too sharp, too true

We danced on glass, we prayed on coals

And now we're paying with our souls

The pressure's rising, steel to skin

We break apart but hold within

The truth is buried in the fire

But we still feed it with desire

 

If this is love, it has no end

A loop of burn we can't defend

We used to dream in shades of light

Now every color feels too bright

We made a promise we outgrew

But stayed to feel the final blue

This isn’t life, it’s just a flame

Too loud to leave, too dark to name

 

We’re trapped inside a ring of fire

No more peace, just getting higher

Ashes fall where love once stood

Now it’s gone, misunderstood

The sun don’t set, it only stares

No shade left in this affair

Everything we felt before

Is melting through a furnace door

 

Can’t escape the heat tonight

No more stars, no end in sight

Burning slow, but burning sure

This is pain we can’t ignore

Draw the line and cross again

Every touch is searing skin

We loved too deep, now we expire

Caught inside this ring of fire
