At The Point Of Ignition

Do not hide your sorrow,
Or banish it from sight
Take it out to burn,
Turn the pain against it

In a day that holds no other
What are we?
The fuel or the flame?
In a life that hides behind you
What are you?
The fuel or the flame?

In our proud momentum,
Thrust the hand from the start
Our fragile frame falls apart

I hear you in my echo
A few steps behind
I see you in my shadow
Waiting inside

What if we don't question
The meaning of it all
The answer in our system
Bound to kill the spark

The moment so illusive
Hangs heavy over our heads
Scorns the doubting nomads
That burn another trail

In a day that holds no other
What are we?
The fuel or the flame?
In a life that hides behind you
What are you?

The shine of trembling stars
Worlds in the distant
Curse this lack of sight
Into darkness without end

In a day that holds no other
What are we?
The fuel or the flame?
In a life that hides behind you
What are you?
The fuel or the flame?

In a day that holds no other
What are we?
In a life that hides behind you
What are you?
What are you?
