Fire

I watched the sun burn up my pillow
I didn’t know it could roll so slow
Hang like the cherry from your fingers out the window
Playing with fire
Judgment day, hanging like a tightrope
Hounds to the left, halos to the right
Making bets, taking names
I’m hiding in the corner
Hope they don’t remember mine
I once was lost, but now I’m nowhere
I once was blind, but now I’m blinder
I guess sometimes I could be a little kinder
I watched the flame burn down my castle
I didn’t know it could go so fast
Fall like the cherry from your fingers to the pillow
Playing with fire
Judgment day, hanging like a tightrope
Hounds to the left, halos to the right
And they’re making bets, and they’re taking names
I’m hiding in the back room
Hope they don’t remember mine
So pick your fights, and win your battles
We haven’t much road left to travel
Isn’t it scary?
It isn’t scary unless you’re scared of it

Grey, over the city
Casting us in iron
Heavy with the season
Awake in the fire
Speaking with no reason
Washed up on the shore
Coming up for air
To claim the things we care for
Oceanspray and seafoam
Loving where we come from
Amazed by our own changes
Craving to turn pages
Back or forth depending
Searching for ending or beginning
I watched myself go down
Like a fighter plane
Remembered by the child
Who died once in the flame
We’re all someone else
Living someone else’s past life
Wishing we were not
Scared that they forgot us
And the ocean washes most of it away
Except the shit you can’t let go of
The saltwater you swallow
Tells you to remember
Moon casting us in shadow
We’re all living someone else’s past life
And we are all just patterns in the night sky
At best we’re desperate children
Set and cast in iron
Running ring around the rosie
In the center of the city
Trying to remember
