The fires burn across the lands
We're here reaching for the other hand
But we're sinking deeper in the sand
Can you feel the dying of our homeland 
I can feel it, but I don't want to
I could cry, but I don't want to

So I close my eyes
Breathing in the smoke from the flames
Knowing nothing will ever be the same
I can feel how love lies
I could ask why, but I don't want to
I could run and hide, but I don't want to

The shadows grow within the darkness
Somehow I made myself a part of this
Sinking deeper into the abyss
I can struggle, but I don't want to
I could let go, but I don't want to

So I close my eyes
Breathing in the smoke from the flames
Knowing nothing will ever be the same
I can feel how love lies
I can ask why, but I don't want to
I could run and hide, but I don't want to

There's a haunting in our minds
A coldness we try not to describe 
Every time we try we cross the line
I can stay, but I don't want to 
I could fade away, but I don't want to

So I close my eyes
Breathing in the smoke from the flames
Knowing nothing will ever be the same
I can feel how love lies
I could ask why, but I don't want to
I could run and hide, but I don't want to

I can love you, but I don't want to 
I could hate you, but I don't want to 
I can fight, but I don't want to 
I could die, but I don't want to 

So I close my eyes
Breathing in the smoke from the flames
Knowing nothing will ever be the same
I can feel how love lies
I could ask why, but I don't want to
I could run and hide, but I don't want to
So I close my eyes
Breathing in the smoke from the flames
Knowing nothing will ever be the same
I can feel how love lies
I could ask why, but I don't want to
I could run and hide, but I don't want to

I don't want to
