Burning

(Shimmering, shimmering, shimmering
Shimmering, shimmering, shimmering)

Shimmering cold
See our beloved dream
Waking helpless
As trust gives way to shame
While you were out they sold our sovereignty
And canceled our tomorrows just to justify the change

And you don’t have to close your eyes to see
The darkness all around
You don’t have to close your eyes to feel
The world turned upside down

In every dream I’ve ever dreamt
I burn for you
In every promise that I kept
I burn for you
With every word I’ve ever said
I burn for you
Until there’s nothing left
I burn for you

The beacon ignited
A halo in the dark
You wander forgotten
But I know who you are
And nothing else matters if you only hear these words
I still believe in you

And you don’t have to close your eyes to see
The darkness all around
You don’t have to close your eyes to feel
The world turned upside down

In every dream I’ve ever dreamt
I burn for you
In every promise that I kept
I burn for you
With every word I’ve ever said
I burn for you
Until there’s nothing left
I burn for you

The fury confines
The program becomes
The fear it created cannot be undone
The singular real
In choices you make
The conflicted purpose directing the fate

In every dream I’ve ever dreamt
I burn for you
In every promise that I kept
I burn for you
With every word I’ve ever said
I burn for you
Until there’s nothing left
I burn for you

All that we dream
Gives purpose to reality
Mathematics underneath the gears of deity
All I perceive
Existing in uncertainty
My life becomes the energy
To fuel these burning wings

In every dream I’ve ever dreamt
I burn for you
In every promise that I kept
I burn for you
With every word I’ve ever said
I burn for you
Until there’s nothing left
I burn for you
