Red Flames Sleep

Instrumental Intro

Chorus

Fire in my chest

Burning hot inside my chest

Tearing me apart

Take the river water

Splash it on my skin

Let the red flames sleep

Verse 1

That deck of cards

Felt sturdy till the news hit hard

I believed the lie

Ice in your veins while I sit and I cry

Pre-Chorus

Mind feels jagged

Heart feels ragged

I'm hurting

I'm crying

Chorus

Fire in my chest

Burning hot inside my chest

Tearing me apart

Take the river water

Splash it on my skin

Let the red flames sleep

Post-Chorus

Let them sleep

Oh let them sleep

Wash me clean

Verse 2

Months went rolling

With my bitter spirit slowly folding

You walked through the door

Now I'm shaking on the porch boards once more

Pre-Chorus

Mind feels jagged

Heart feels ragged

I'm hurting

I'm crying

Chorus

Fire in my chest

Burning hot inside my chest

Tearing me apart

Take the river water

Splash it on my skin

Let the red flames sleep

Bridge

Don't bring your match to me

Don't bring your wick to me

Don't bring your wood to me

Keep the spark away

I'm tired of your blaze

Chorus

Fire in my chest

Burning hot inside my chest

Tearing me apart

Take the river water

Splash it on my skin

Let the red flames sleep

Post-Chorus

Let them sleep

Oh let them sleep

Wash me clean

Post-Chorus

Let them sleep

Oh let them sleep

Wash me clean
