Simple little tune about a love that burned too bright and died to fast.
lyrics
There's a fire in my veins, spreading to my soul,
Burning up my brain, raging out of control,
Drawning me in, it swallows me whole;
It feels like home, here within the flame,
A flame I entertain no thought of trying to tame,
Your face shines through the fire, so I know who to blame;
When the wind blows, makes the embers dance,
Spinning like a wheel of circumstance,
The trails they leave put me in a trance,
So transfixed, I never take a second glance,
At a suffocating flame;
There was fire in my veins, but it burned to fast,
Not enough fuel to build a flame that could last,
Another pile of ashes left in the past;
Used to light the way but now it's blinded me,
Whisp of once sweet smoke, burns bitterly,
Choking on the ashes, of my own dignity;
It used up all the atmosphere,
smothered us both,
When the smoke clears...
We'll see who got burned the most
