Put Out The Flame . . .

            PUT OUT THE FLAME . . .

We always believed in our dreams before -

  Even when we were afraid of the dark.
Now at the edge of the world in our head -
  & the gun points straight at our heart.
The scream used to come only when asleep -
  But now, it's only a dream away -

We always seem to be found by angels -

But this time, it’s not the same
Bringing down the pain
This dream is burning again
Put out the flame
Bring down the rain

We had hoped the storm would just go away -

  That the thunder was made in our mind.
That the heart of darkness would keep us warm -
  And love could be told to the world.
The scream used to come only when asleep -
  But now, it's only a dream away -

We always seem to be found by angels -

But this time, it’s not the same
Bringing down the pain
This dream is burning again
Put out the flame
Bring down the rain

Trapped in the middle, trapped in shadow -

Bring down the rain
The scream used to come only when asleep -
But now, it's only a dream away -
We always seem to be found by angels -
But this time, it’s not the same
Bringing down the pain
The dream is burning again
Put out the flame
Bring down the rain
Can't play the game
Bring down the rain
Put out the flame
Bring down the rain
