I feel the burn of the flame within me
I’ve come to know and accept this feeling
Pushed to the edge
I’ll claw a way straight through
To find my solace now
A soul I will renew

I will escape my fate, I want to live again

There’s no such thing as a heart too heavy
Even the burden of life and memory
A purpose-driven existence to find
The past is gone, the future redefined

I am the side effect
I am a by-product
I am the consequence
I am the side effect

With my hands, I’ll start anew
Another way to make it through
Not to be just another side effect
