Fire Lyrics by Fred Thomas

Sink Like A Symphony

2006

I held my breath, but I breathed in the smoke regardless
Of my room as it burned
It filled my lungs and I was done
Then I slept
I saw the line between sleeping and death
As I stepped over it, a small voice say "Don't be afraid"
And a choice was made

And I dreamed of an auditorium
Surrounding me, a thousand eyes
A thousand hands held up the sky
And I believe I heard their voices in my mind
Say "Don't be sad, it's just your time
Go make a ladder of your spine
Let every rung be stepped and climbed
Make hummingbirds from your insides
And let your veins turn into vines
And let your teeth and bones rewind
And realise now, realise
That you were only walking light
Now let it go back down and shine
On everybody that you loved
When you were alive!"

And so Eli
Would you wait for me even if I
Was removed from our time and died?
And died, and died, and died
Well don't cry, because it's only the last part of life
And I'm still by your side
And it'll happen to you like it happened to me
And the rest of the people we know
Like the summers all end and the trees lose their leaves
And the water turns back into snow
Every grandmother, grandfather, particle
We are all here for a while then we go
Living for love and love alone

And you will be with those angels in disguises
Cleverly holding their hands over your eyes
To make from your nightmares the nighttime
And you will believe, a thousand days before you die
Maybe nine hundred ninety nine
You'll feel the numbers' slow decline
And everybody, it's alright
Cos you can't argue with the sky
You can't argue
With fire

La da da
La da da, da da da da, da da
La da da, da da da da, da da
La da da, da da da da, da

La da da
La da da, da da da da, da
La la la, la la la la la
La la, la la, la la, la la la
