[Verse 1]
I, I overthink, overanalyze
I try to draw straight every time
I'm always outside the lines
And I’m, I'm underworked, overqualified
They wanna walk me through the fire
I always find a place to hide

[Pre-Chorus]
Everyone, I was wrong

[Chorus]
Burned down, I turn away
The raging fire, this August day
Melt down, I'm here to stay
The candle's gone, this August day

[Verse 2]
I, I’ve laid all my weapons down
I don't really know where to run
I'm following the sound
And I, I undermine, over-glamorise
I catch myself every time, burying the lies

[Pre-Chorus]
Everyone, I was wrong (I was wrong)

[Chorus]
Burned down, I turn away
The raging fire, this August day
Melt down, I'm here to stay
The candle's gone, this August day

[Bridge]
I’m clawing at my trail
I’m clawing at my trail
I’m clawing at my trail
I’m clawing at my trail
(I’m clawing at my trail, I’m clawing at my trail)

[Chorus]
Burned down, I turn away
The raging fire, this August day
Melt down, I'm here to stay
The candle's gone, this August day

[Outro]
I’m clawing at my trail
I’m clawing at my trail
I’m clawing at my trail
I’m pouring all the nightmares in my head
I’m clawing at my trail
I’m clawing at my trail
I’m clawing at my trail

A Canadian rock/post-grunge “supergroup” featuring ex-Three Days Grace vocalist/guitarist Adam Gontier, Staind guitarist Mike Mushok, Eye Empire bassist Corey Lowery, and former Finger Eleven drummer Rich Beddoe, Saint Asonia came into being after Mushok and Gontier began writing together just after the latter’s split with his flagship band. Impressed with what they had managed to conjure up, the duo enlisted the rest of the crew and headed into the studio with producer Johnny K (Disturbed, Megadeth, Sevendust) to begin work on a debut long-player. “Better Place,” the first single from the record, was issued in May 2015, followed by the release of the eponymous full-length Saint Asonia later that summer. In 2017, Rich Beddoe left the band and was replaced by Mike Mushok’s Former Staind bandmate Sal Giancarelli. then in 2018, Corey Lowery left the band to join seether and was replaced by Adam Gontier’s cousin and former Art Of Dying bassist, Cale Gontier.
