Burn Ward

My aversion to light
Is just a little concerning
The embers are gone
But my skin is still burning
It's getting easier to breathe
But now my future's uncertain

The hour has relapsed
Without my intervention
The path to perdition
Was not my intention
I couldn't remedy this infection
So I tried to burn away my...

Mistakes were made
As my spirit was departing
And I began to panic as I
Lay down and watch the fire dance across my body
I'm new to this reality

How much will it cost?
To replace the nerves that I lost
To repair the skin that I burned off
And to heal the trauma time forgot

Mistakes were made
As my spirit was departing
It hasn't really set in as I
Lay down with burns of varying degrees across my body
I don't like this reality

There's nothing to do here (Can't go back down)
And nowhere to go (That path)
There's too many answers (Can't come back from)
That I don't know (My past)
We salvaged the remnants (Can't go back down)
But I'm too far gone (That path)
The damage is done now (Can't come back from)
Can I go home? (My past)
