This is the second song on a concept album (EP) about a friend of ours who passed away. The Flame is about the transition from a good life to... well, a not so good life.
Lyrics
The Flame He lies awake at night Wondering if this spark will ignite Kept from sleep by the uncertain beat Of his own heart And if he can’t get this right He knows there’s a chance that he might Fuel the fire to his burning desire Of this shadow of a spark There's a flame inside now And he wonders if it will burn Will it burn? Should he just let it in? Cause he can't get enough Of the heat that it gives Will he let it under his skin? If he can't break it off Will it break from within? He lies awake On the roof falls the rain Its soft unsteady beat Keeping him from sleep The flames getting stronger now And he wonders how much it will burn? Will it burn? Should he just let it in? Cause he can't get enough Of the heat that it gives Will he let it under his skin? If he can't break it off Will it break from within? His breathing pattern bleeds And his sleeping pattern flees far from the room With this constant need to breathe He can't see the air he's holding onto Should he just let it end? Cause he can't get enough Of the heat that it gives Will he let it under his skin? If he can't break it off Will it break from within? Call it rain; call it a need to believe Call it an empty attempt to learn what it means Will it burn?
