World on Fire (Extended) - Silverstein

I let it go and watched it fly

So far away out of my sight

I trusted in your eagle eye

I let it go, I let it go

I dug a hole into the ground

I hid my chest, it won’t be found

I took a breath without a sound

I let it go, I let it go

Is this the start or end?

I’ve been told a thousand times it’s good for me (good for me)

But I don’t believe it

I’m being warned by everyone that I meet (that I meet)

That I’ve set my world on fire

I saw the flags, all raised in red

Ignored the flames, I turned my back

I took a breath to clear my head

I let it go, I let it go

If you could see me now

I knew I’d stand for something

They all were right

This was a fucking game

I’ve been told a thousand times it’s good for me (good for me)

But I don’t believe it

I’m being warned by everyone that I meet (that I meet)

That I’ve set my world on fire

Right now

What it all comes down to

My throat still closes up

Forever choking

It was not your dream

And you were never joking

I need to see it in your eyes

(I need to see it in your eyes)

And never doubt it

I need to know

(Can you believe in something?)

I’ve been told a thousand times it’s good for me (good for me)

But I don’t believe it

I’m being warned by everyone that I meet (that I meet)

That I’ve set my world on fire

Set my world on fire
