Fires Lyrics by Booklegger

Sic Transit Mundus

0

I love you
But we are a broken hammer:
All shims and splints, and full of good intentions

I set fires
I set fires
I fill the sky with light
I set fires

We talk in the heat
Like a dry summer creek
Filled with last winter's leaves
A silence of nettles
Old growth, and underbrush
And the pitch pine bark
Hides a turpentine heart
I knew this day would come

Eye to eye in the heat
Mouth in haste, roots embracе
Does sapling or wasteland this caress of kindling makе?
We dreamt of rain for this place
For new growth to heal our mistakes
I love you still, but we both know the rains have left us

Sunbleached limbs and hollow hearts
Our lives our heavy with fuel
Skin on skin feels like flint, like lightning, like wind
I love you, but we are a forest in waiting

I set fires
I set fires
I fill the sky with light
I set fires

I set fires. I set fires
Broken branches piled high
I burn the Winter from our lives
Without flames the forest dies
I set fires

I set fires
I set fires
I fill the sky with light
I set fires
