Intro:

go to sleep 
then wake up
go to sleep
fuck it up

go to sleep 
then wake up
go to sleep
fuck it up

know i dont 
know how to breath
drowing in
my reality 

know i dont 
know how to swim
waters
drownin me

mind a pool
arms are weak
bottom gone
does death seek

mind a pool
legs are weak
is heaven for
just the meek?

Instrumental

Verse 1

And I wish I could remember what i felt like when I was 
Just a child spending all of my little Friday nights

Now I’m doomed to work 40 hours a mundane week
Waiting for some fame or some sort of lottery to come and set me free

Let’s be honest i’ve failed at every goal I’ve set for me
Wondering if anything I dream is ever meant to be 
 

Writing at the dead of night
Not showing my work out of fear
or out of spite
Who knows bc im too private to ever give a show

Pre chorus
Now I fear I may never accomplish 
all that i am destined for

Chorus
Hephaestus worked too hard, flames too high to count
So now i sit in my dying flames and wish none of my actions counted
Tell myself lifes just begun
The flames a new
everything’s gone

How can I do the right thing
and stay true
I never make promises
Cause i just don’t have the follow through


Verse 2
They say you rise from ashes
Sand in flames it just turns to glass 
But I once wrote how does a phoenix rise from hes never been in?

Cold water and cold hearts alike
Dying flames in the heart, but dying flames are not in sight
Dying flames in the heart, but no dying flames are in sight
Cold water and cold hearts alike
No angels ever scream for their light

Hephaestus worked too hard
but my tears dont evaporate in the fire’s light
(Hephaestus never cried)
Hephaestus worked too hard
but my tears dont evaporate in the fire’s light
(Hephaestus never cried)


Chorus

Hephaestus worked too hard, flames too high to count
So now i 
(Said I don’t know what to do, and I just wanna cry it out)
sit in my dying flames and wish none of my actions counted
Tell myself life’s just begun
The flames a new
everything’s gone
(Everything is gone)
how can i do the right thing
and stay true to myself?


Outro
No angels scream for their light
(Those flames were just so high)
so i have to ask what am i?
becasue i cant stop screaming into
empty canyons, pitch black nights 

(Just close my eyes.
See the light. Almost died.
See that light when I close my eyes and I just want to cry)

no angels mourn for their light
so i ask what the fuck am i?
Cause i cant stop staring into
empty canyons, pitch black nights

life will leave you
fighting just and survive
staring at reflections
i was lucky 
to even make it 
through that night

Dying Flames (Never Hephaestus)

Kali Uchis - All Or Nothing

Groove Is In The Heart

Throbbing Gristle

I'M BATHED IN FIRE
FLAMES HIT MY FACE
FROM WATCHING THE WORLD BURN
WATCHING THE WORLD BURN
HOT FROM MY FEVER
YOU ALL SEE THROUGH ME
I WATCH THE WORLD IN THE FIRE
YOU SEE NO FUTURE IN ME
THEY CUT ME FROM MY SHELL
THEY TAKE ME ON
TAKE ME ON

FEVER
