Sleeping in Flames

I sleep in flames
Burning down to the ground
To wake
Ashes of the world I knew
Choking out the sun

I'm coming undone
Bathed in fear and moonlight
I cry out to the stars
Everything is gonna be fine right?
Everything is gonna be fine RIGHT?!

I am fighting for every step
To not be screaming
With my last breath
I am lost
