Light Lyrics by Alteras

Myself On Fire

2018

[Verse 1]
The more time alone I spend
The harder it gets to sleep in my bed
Can’t remember just how all this happened I’m sorry I’m distant, need distance from my head
Am I dreaming?
Or am I awake?
Am I dreaming or have I made a mistake?

[Chorus]
I’d match my breathing to the beat of your heart to let you know it’s keeping both of us alive
Her light resembled the flicker of chinon projectors, the colors washed but she was always smiling
I don’t want to know how close I can get

[Verse 2]
I wrote her a letter, it still said I love you
I hope that’s okay after all that we went through
I hope waking up from my nightmares didn’t disturb you from your dreams I still care
Am I dreaming?
Or am I awake?
Am I dreaming or have I made a mistake?

[Chorus]
I’d match my breathing to the beat of your heart to let you know it’s keeping both of us alive
Her light resembled the flicker of chinon projectors, the colors washed but she was always smiling

[Bridge]
My mother always says that I’m a stronger man, But the older I get the less I believe that
My brother showed me how to play my hand, never take no for an answer and make people listen

[Chorus]
I’d match my breathing to the beat of your heart to let you know it’s keeping both of us alive
Her light resembled the flicker of chinon projectors, the colors washed but she was always smiling. I’ll sing this song even if I have to stutter
(the words you whispered)
And I’ll remember you even when I wrestle dementia to see your figure
(Is it bad) that I can never catch my breath
(Is it bad) I can never catch my breath
