Fire Dance
from Last Astronaut In Space by Pea Green Boat
lyrics
Born in the heart of a meteorite
She left a scar across this barren land
The stars had left
An omen of death
Whispered under muted breath
Her legacy is burned upon my hands
And the shape of her name
Is a white hot pain
A hole in my gut is burning
Churning
Smoke in my lungs
The night I was young and stupid
What is this feeling?
Sickly and sweet
A warmth in my heart
Too soon unbearable heat
Yes I loved you
I never deserved to
When the anger I felt
It sparked a fire that raged
My bed of flame
My burning shame
A chorus of embers when you came
Why must I smoulder in your name?
The light in her eyes
Is the light that fries
My body's a vessel, holding
Moulding
The flickering tongue
The call of the young and stupid
Well I doubt that she realised
The smoke on the rise
A jealous mistake and I miss her
There's blisters where everything stung
The night I was young and stupid
What is this feeling
Sickly and sweet
I'm sorry I burned you
With my selfish retreat
Yes I loved you
I never deserved to
When the anger I felt
It sparked a fire that raged
My bed of flame
My burning shame
A chorus of embers when you came
Why must I smoulder in your name?
Insignificant bodies
Revolve around the sun
We're burning up like fireflies
Insignificant bodies
(I'm sorry)
Revolve around the sun
(Please, forgive me)
We're burning up
(I never did deserve you)
Like fireflies
(And I've grown to hate the light)
God damn, talk to me
What have you done to me?
I'm dancing out a fever in my bones...
