I Burn Away

burning in your eyes

could I really leave you something?

When the fire dies

after all the sighs

would you keep me warm with something?

It's just that simple feeling

I want to be with you

captured wild and held back

like a lion in the zoo

you dangled the key outside

I reach but I can't get through

and with your time you'd feed me

but time won't make this new

you slide beneath

all the things in life

like the beneath the paint

drift like the leaves from a tree that dies

did it really live for something?

Such a simple feeling

we lost along the way

in the clouds that hover

over what we made

if all of the mess we sweep up

fills this one last day

think back to a time

when we knew how to play

So long, maybe never see you

been had and fooled too long

So long, maybe never had you

I'll have to carry on

I Burn Away

burning in your eyes

could I really leave you something?

When the fire dies

after all the sighs

would you keep me warm with something?
