Silver Reeds - Follow The Flame

Today was the day the river did take you
You gave it your body, let it boil and break you
There was no more fire in your belly
Nothing was left but to go

But I couldn't leave the sick room
Paper falling off the walls into the
The slow decay of the cold night
Burning away with a hollow flame

I let you in to my house
I was not built strong enough to lock someone out
I did right - I told you you could stay on the couch
But you made your bed deep in my bones and now I can't kick you out

And did you live the life you wanted to
Using everyone around you
Had me frozen like a prеy animal
And I'm still running like a prey animal
Trying to outrun a burned out candlе
Gathering dust into another day

And there is nothing left to say now
Unless it tumbles down another way
Spinning fire across a dead sky
So I'll follow the flame
'Til it burns up the shame
I'll follow the flame
'Til it burns up the shame
I'll follow the flame
'Til it burns up the shame
