awake in the fire

Every time it feels like I'm catching my breath
It just slips on further away
When I see your face twisted up like that
I can't help but feel that I'm the one to blame
It doesn't make sense but I feel
Responsible for you
You can take good care of yourself
But a part of me doesn't want you to

It's easy to focus on you
When I'm trying to breathe underwater
It's easy to take on your pain
When I'm standing awake in the fire
It's easy to see that you're hurting
'Cause I'm hurting too
And we'll martyr it out
'Till one of us turns blue
But I'll still be standing awake in this fire

Music's meant to bring the people together
But I use it to get away
Feeling caught in this in between
The piano doesn't have an opinion to say
My chest's caving in but I can sing out
My throat's closing in but I can still
Scream out loud

It's easy to focus on you
When I'm trying to breathe underwater
It's easy to take on your pain
When I'm standing awake in the fire
It's easy to see that you're hurting
'Cause I'm hurting too
And we'll martyr it out
'Till one of us turns blue
But I'll still be standing
Awake in this fire

(Ahh)
(My throat's closing in but I can still sing out loud)
(We'll martyr it out 'till one of us turns blue)
(Standing awake in the fire)
