Roses aflame

I can feel fire in my veins

Red roses set aflame 

Burning embers 

Passionate rage 

A suffocating feeling I can't escape 

 

I feel like running away 

To some faraway place 

Where even the stars 

Wont remember my name 

 

I might lose myself 

In a faraway world 

Hiding away 

In my secret escape 

 

Time is an illusion 

And I'm caught up in the confusion 

Maybe if I ran away 

I'd escape this delusion 

 

After all,nothing lasts for forever 

And every moment is fleeting

So I'll choose to live free 

and fly away 

 

Only then may i find 

life's true meaning
