Avantasia - Blowing Out The Flame

[Scarecrow]
I sold my soul for diamonds
And reason for acclaim
Been begging for white angels
To blow my mind away

Been growing funny flowers
Where roses never grew
I stayed awake all night
When I woke up from dreams of me and you

I tried to take the sun and I went blind
God help me to erase you from my mind

I'm growing cold
And the night is yet to come

Can anyone tell me is this
The way it's meant to be?
Lost and isolated
I'm way too complicated
For you to lean on me
I play a losing game
I cried in desperation
Mental devastation
I'm blowing out the flame

Self-pity gave me shelter
I always hid away in vice Dyslexic, torn and tattered
I tried to read the signs

You never tried to take a look at the one I'd have died to be
Now it seems you don't see me at all

Was it all worth it? Visions holding sway
When the real thing got lost along the way

Yes anyone tell me is this
The way it's meant to be?
I'm lost and isolated
Way too complicated
For you to lean on me
I play a losing game
I cried in desperation
Mental devastation
I'm blowing out the flame

Yes anyone tell me is this
The way it's meant to be
Lost and isolated
I'm way too complicated
For you to lean on me
I play a losing game
I cried in desperation
Mental devastation
I'm blowing out the flame
