Heat Devil
I have ruined my body
I have ruined my mind
There will not be forgiveness
Panicked feet leave the road behind
Call me home
Just once more
Meant to be for nevermore
She stands afar while waiting for
burdens to go up in smoke
Heat devil
2x
You set fires
You set fires
In a row
Now the sparks ignite
what my darling hid for days and nights
Did I pull a stunt?
I don't know
How can I know?
I was constantly straying
On the edge of my sense
Now the light of destruction
leads your feet while you dance
You're a stone
In a pond
Meant to sink for everlong
Crawl back into your mother's womb
burdens won't just turn to smoke
Heat Devil
2x
You set fires
You set fires
In a row
And the sparks ignite
To a smile below you're trying to hide
Was I blind or numb?
I don't know
How could I know?
How should I know?
Why would I know?
Our love could have been forever
But there was something in your head
that told you over and over
You must break the rules we set
Farewell, my sweet obsession
A matchbox in my hand
I watch your naked body burn
in a place where lovers met
Our love could have been forever
But then something in your head said
Us will never never be again
Never again
Shivering air
And waving straw
A body, tired and lifeless
held by the claws of the fire
Blaming a liar
Ashes fall
White like snow
The firestorm
spits paper birds
that tend to retire
Blaming a liar
Blaming a liar

Deep Beneath the Sea

Deep Beneath The Sea
Faceless figures in the night
Shapeless bodies, voices thin
Their train of thought takes unknown routes
To where I’ve never been
I watch the skies, but I’ll never climb
To such staggering heights
The weight of guesswork on my mind
You seemed so close, but you were far away from me
In gardens overgrown
And all the secrets buried deep beneath the sea
I wish they were my own
Drenched in doubt right to the bone
Can’t say my last goodbye
On the coastline of your mind
Was I just a passer-by?
But we’re afraid to cross that line
We could not reconcile
Our fragile movements, though we’ve tried
So I watch the skies but I‘ll never climb
To such staggering heights
The weight of guesswork on my mind
The thundering waves will wash away your memory
The silent waters moan
And all the secrets buried deep beneath the sea
I wish they were my own
Then we all hold our breath
For beauty walks with silent steps
And all the best things that we did fade into nothingness
But you who‘d rather dress
His inner fears in shallow chat
What if you find that all those words were meaningless?
My eyes, they filled with tears, I sank down on my knees
In emptiness we roam
And all the secrets buried deep beneath the sea
Were never to be known
