Cold 2011, in the chill of the middle of March Like a disaster waiting to happen, barely holding its charge A blazing flame had ignited, revealing a hint of a grin Disguised as a dying ember, beguiling me into a gin
The ember burns, she hungers for a source of fuel Her power grows quickly, she's hopping like a fool onto the floor Then she expands to every wall With scorching steps, her dreadful grace consumes it all
[Chorus:] A mournful morning reduced my life to dust Counting memories to the last Stories, fabrics, papers, pictures, moments caught in a frame All I was defined by - All I lost to the flame
I deserve this rude awakening, for letting down my guard To see my home collapsing, a burning house of cards A fire I thought that had died, a mistress that dances in awe The non-metaphorical bash to the face that is my broken jaw
I see 30 years swirling down the drain Notebooks I've written as a child, poems I've written as a man
[Chorus:] You stop at nothing, impossible to quench So hard to kill you, you sot belligerent wench Playtime is over with this blistering deadly dame All I was defined by - All is lost to the flame
As I sit in ashes, my hands are searching to find Something I could hold on ot, a little peace of mind Nothing lies beneath this blackened veil of cinder Losing all I'm defined by through the gap between my fingersTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
