Flame of the Uninspired Lyrics by ​k.d. lang

Watershed

2008

I spent a lifetime carving out my fate
Things I like, things I hate
My very nature is to criticize
And to cut myself down to size
On the cusp of compromise
To living hell, I slipped and fell
I'm in the corner licking off my wound
Loves come and go, all too soon
Looking back upon my life as such
And the remedies, they cost too much
Such a frail and fragile place
This egg and shell upon my face
Fueled by desire
Wind adds to fire
Flame of the uninspired
--- Instrumental ---
On the cusp of compromise
To living hell, I slipped and fell
Such a frail and fragile place
This egg and shell upon my face
Fueled by desire
Wind adds to fire
Flame of the uninspired...
