slipping beneath the rising smoke,
i slowly cease to see
what's kept me safe for so long;
the walls i built around me.

quickly the pressure begins to build 
any air is hard to find
i'm searching for a way out
but its hard when im nearly blind

heat, heat, this scorching heat
the fire is creeping near
emotions rise, i lack control
my heart's ablaze, i fear

a flash of light comes flying by
revealing the damage done
the walls around me crumble down
and i realize who has won

you look at me triumphantly
i stare, fallen, as i see
that in your hand you hold a heart
and i realize it belongs to me
