V1.
The fire burns within my soul
constant longing to be free
To make my body a whole
trapped within thee
Til this tortured life closes in on me
I strive to open my mind
Trapped within my body just
a prisoner to myself
Chorus1:
Let me be let me free
free to be that which burns my soul
can't watch my life pass by
let me be that which is me
V2.
The chains that bind me here
keep me down
buried inside this useless shell
that you call me
Chorus2:
Let me be let me free
free to be that which burns my soul
scared by the flames
let me be that which is me
Chorus3:
Let me be Let me free
Free to be that which burns
deep within my soul
Let me be that which is me
Let me be, Let me be free

I was just incredibly confused...that's is all. I honestly don't know what else tosay. One thing I noticed, you have perionds where you don't need them. Lyrics sound better when they flow from one word to another even if someone's screaming them.
