Burning inside...

Can you hear it?
Like a tree on fire
Rumbling and falling
I am burning inside...

Can you feel it?
Like a heart set on desire
Breaking and shaking
I am burning inside...

Can you cure it? Make this pain go away?
Like a thirsty fool in a mirage
Wincing and pining
I am burning inside...

Like a forest fire... silently spreading
To places inside me... I have been fearing...
Moment after moment... an eternity of dying...
Till there's nothing left but ashes simmering...
Telling a story of a heart...
That was burning inside!
