FIRE!!

1)We light up our lights to hide the night
Till the night has an eerie glow
We do not see the strange beauty
Of the starshine here below

The stars are alive
Though hiding inside
And the night is bright
With the fire behind
The sky.

And the darkness waits
And the darkness rests
In the savage romance of the air
With the lights that we hide to cover our fright
At the beauty ignored spinning there


2)The fire in the sky is red
It dances cloudy o'er my head
The fire underground is white
And brings to men things of delight
The blood is running through my hands
Dark red to brown against it stands
The things that are, we often hope
Are hiding there, just out of scope
The fire can bring them to light
Coming out of darkest night
And though these things seem to be fair
A lot more pain is hidden there


3)It seems sometimes that we may dream
Hearkening to things unseen
And every now we have to wait
These appetites we cannot sate
Heralding the things to come
When I no longer leave alone
And though the time is not yet nigh
Soon 'twill be, and then I'll fly
And there on the ground, in a wonderful way
Will be all the things I have yet to say
It seems sometimes that we may rise
Leaving away across star-filled skies


4)Everything's going to be alright
Though it doesn't seem like it tonight
And when everything comes crashing down
The hope that's left seems it will drown
Though they say "The time was right"
It doesn't feel so, this long dark night
I wish so much that we had more time
Even to listen to this last sad rhyme
We stand and we sit, we hope and desire
For in death there is life, and in night the fire


5)Her addiction slowly comes
And manifests itself
In ways she can't forget
She wishes she could remember
The time before the laughter
And not what followed after
'Cause when the poison fills her veins
It runs straight to her brain
To eat her, to leave her alive
She resents it, but she needs it
She can no longer live without it
Nothing else is worth anything
But that one touch, and that one strain
So she covers her self with her sleeves
And goes, her eyes twitching violently
Waiting to be caught
To be told to stop
But it doesn't come 'cause she's alone
She shuts herself away
Because nothing is okay
She can hate it but she can't fight it
She can no longer hide it
The war within shows on her skin
In smooth red trenches
Landmines and scars
And dirty blades that come with pain
She's forgotten how this started
Or what match set off this fire
But now she's down and recalling
The bliss of the forgetting
And sets to bring the destruction
All over again
