“And you're on fire… When He's near you… You're on fire… When He speaks…” – Switchfoot

Dear Fear,
The world has been living with you till this very day
Would you ever go away?
What made you come in the first place?
You’re just a waste of precious space.

I’ve not seen and experienced the wrath of your awesome prowess.
Alas, I’ve been a pawn of your perverse imagination.
You exploited human emotions and teased the heart.

For I’ve sinned, thou shall repent
And may, one day, I find nirvana
For you’ve conned thy fragile heart

You’ve got an incredible ability to work wonders
But, instead, you bring on hideous visions
Everyday people live in anxiety
Every moment you are reminisced

Every way, you make them tear
Please, Fear…
Please…

“And you're on fire… When He's near you… You're on fire… When He speaks…” – Switchfoot

“My name is Jade.” The cutesy voice continued
“I’m Will, pleased to meet you.”
“Welcome to Pinetent, I’ve been living here since I was born.” She added

A dark figure whizzed past the window and came straight through the door.
I pushed Jade aside and stood in front, prepared for a battle.
I stared intently at the door, awaiting the imminent brawl.

“It’s a… it’s a…” I was lost for words
“Meow” a gray Persian Cat emerged from the doorway.
“Hey, it’s Tiggy.” Jade was elated to see the feline animal.“Will, meet Tiggy.”

Tears welled up in my eyes, as memories of my lost companion poured into my mind.
“What’s wrong?” she asked
“It’s nothing.” I said, shrugging off the thoughts, “What happened in Apulsa?”

“I heard that there was a great battle and the entire city was wiped out.”
“What’s wrong with Tiggy?” I noticed that the cat was trying to get Jade’s attention.
“Hey Tiggy… you want me to follow you?” we carried on, tracking behind Tiggy
she’s leading us somewhere…
but where…




Tell you where you need to go
Tell you when you'll need to leave
Tell you what you need to know
Tell you who you need to be

But everything inside you knows
Says more than what you've heard
So much more than empty conversations
Filled with empty words

And you're on fire
When He's near you
You're on fire
When He speaks
You're on fire
Burning at these mysteries

Give me one more time around
Give me one more chance to see
Give me everything You are
Give me one more chance to be... (near You)

Cause everything inside looks like
Everything I hate
You are the hope I have for change
You are the only chance I'll take

When I'm on fire
When You're near me
I'm on fire
When You speak
And I'm on fire
Burning at these mysteries
these mysteries...

I'm standing on the edge of me
I'm standing on the edge
And I'm on fire
When You're near you
I'm on fire
When You speak
I'm on fire
Burning at these mysteries...
