Burning

Silence can be deafening
Madness can almost seem sane
Sometimes, barely holding on,
When warmth comes to ease the pain

(that's my devoted angel)

Sweet embers, wrapping around 
Close my eyes, he's got my back
No one's ever kept me safe 
He's haven when skies turn black

I can hear him
(and feel his embrace) -
I'm the man who loves you
Don't hold back from me
Trust me, let me in
Show me your love and darkness
I'll split the two 
Love is all that's returning
(Burning)

He doesn't shy from sadness  
He doesn't deny my rage
He understands how it feels,
When confusion's like a cage

I can break down, he's got this
I know peace when he's with me,
Sheltering my tears and fears
- Strong, definite, fiery

(that's my relentless angel)

I can hear him
(and feel his embrace) -
I'm the man who loves you
Don't hold back from me
Trust me, let me in
Show me your love and darkness
I'll split the two 
Love is all that's returning
(Burning)

(oh, such a rousing angel)
(Love ignites the way)
(Burning)
(Burning)
