Verse 1:
Dm               G
I am words, I am speaking
Dm                  G
I never heard my conclusion
Bbmaj7   Am           Bbmaj7      Am
Lost the way in my confusion, in illusion
Bbmaj7 Am               Dm
Lost inside the picture frame

Chorus:
           G               Dm            C
I'm not to blame, I didn't see the black flame
Dm       G               Dm            C 
I'm not ashamed, its poetry, the black flame
Dm     G                      Dm            C
I'm rearranged, it's changing me, the black flame
Bb       C         Dm         G      Dm     G
Burns my blackened brain

Verse 2:
I am strong, I am leaving
I never knew I'd feel the need so
Where to go, I'll turn the flow, I could not know
Screams inside the burning pain

Chorus:
It's spinning head, it's under hand, the black flame
It lies instead, I turned and I ran, the black flame
On me it fed, I understand, the black flame
Burns my blackened brain

Middle-8:
G            A
Run from me, don't you see
G                         A
That we are one and I'm a part of you
G         A
Get away, any way
G                         A
I'm still a secret in the heart of you
C                           G
And I'm the burning in your soul


Verse 3:
Now I'm weak, I am losing
I never thought I'd stop trying
I'm a lie, I'm just a sigh, just a crying
Just a symbol of the game

Chorus:
Suspended pain, I can not face the black flame
Intended fear, I can not trace the black flame
Extended reaching into space, the black flame
Burns my blackened brain
