lyrics

You stood by the moon//
You took all your clothes off and you drowned//
The water it burns your skin//
As you try and extinguish//
the flames from the fire within//
the fire within.
You find yourself lost in the halls of//
Alabaster antiquities that are arranged//
in a way that suggests you remain as//
more than a ghost in this bed that once held your name//
And it still smells of that spot on your neck//
Where I would bury my face//
You wish you coould stand up tall//
and erase all the things//
that woun't let you love her with all//
of your self
