Wax In A Flame

lyrics

I think and therefore I am
Something, someone
Who’s stupid enough to think I am anything
Thousands of stars might fall for me anyway
But really it’s just winter
Turning to spring
Only a body born now and not again
Or maybe my mind is held captive by my skin
The world is wax in a flame
Malleable, it’s just what I know
And all that I know is I don’t know anything
Just that I am alive and I’m gonna die x2


I didn’t know who I was when you left
Cos you were my sun
And it got so dark in summer light, love
I went off to the city of rain then
In late October
To mend my broken heart and get over you
But in all of our lives there is sorrow
You take it with you
And then it’s gone and you cry for nothing


I just can’t quite believe
It’s 25 years//Since my first breath//Of this cold air
And I just can’t quite believe
It’s 7 years since//We first met in//My friend’s garden
Time is a ruthless stream
It takes my breath away//Took my love away//Takes my life someday


Have a long and beautiful life, love
Show the world all the poetry I saw
In your eyes, in your mind, in your warm heart
Let it in to yourself like sunlight


Alone in the brilliant light with death heavy on my mind
There’s no transcendence, it’s just dark
And I’ll never quite get over that this is our only life
It’s transitory and therefore light
I may never live this life but I will watch from the sides, love
I’ll take it all in and write it down
And now I just crave connection with someone outside my bedroom
I’ll walk through spring light and meet you there
Forever in search of something invisible and weightless
I’ll find it somewhere in someone eyes
