[Verse 1]
Em
Just one spark
Am Em
Is all it takes
Em
I tried so hard
Am Em
But it all goes up in flames
[Pre-chorus]
Em
This is not the way that I thought
G
I would turn out to be
Em
Tried to give but all that I got
G
Was more insanity
Em
Broken everything that I've touched
G
It's gone against me
Em Am Em
I can't get away
[Chorus]
Em
From the fire
G
That burns inside, consuming
D
I fight to stay alive
Am Em
But I can't breathe
G
The voices scream
The enemy
D
Takes over everything
Am
This is the madness in me

Em
Just one chance
Am Em
Is all it takes

Can't change the past
Am Em
But I can fight to change today
[Pre-chorus]

This is not the way that I thought
G
I would turn out to be
Em
Tried to give but all that I got

Broken everything that I've touched

It's gone against me
Em Am Em
Got to get away

From the fire

That burns inside, consuming
