Lyrics
Down past the embers in the ashes of our last fire
I see you dancing on the grave as I pass by
Branches clutching at the sky as the light turned
Burnt from a bright flame kindled in the shire
Attire, nothing but a costume we played in
Containing the oxygen, tamed the glow, died
I sighed for a little bit, cosined the cold, tired
The last evidence of our smoke, a lone crier
On the bench by the side of the Seine
Feeling cold by the coast, no one holding my hand
I guess your ghost's gone
Watching waves dance far in the distance
Calm indifference, the sarcasm of a one man band
Travels ahead with your views in my head
And the hues of regret illuminate wrongs
With the muse that you left, I'll move, write and reflect
With no caller ID, so please just be strong
I was fond of the bundle we'd been conjuring
Folding the lace on your thong, them nights wondering
What the future would hold, while you're choosing my goals
Games making a crease, fates conclude that I'll fold
And looking back we were opaque
Sold fake lies for the price of a soulmate
Oh fate, why'd you have to tie me to principles?
Head below the water, dissolve like copper sulfate
Down past the embers in the ashes of our last fire
I see you dancing on the grave as I pass by
Branches clutching at the sky as the light turned
Burnt from a bright flame kindled in the shire
Attire, nothing but a costume we played in
Containing the oxygen, tamed the glow, died
I sighed for a little bit, cosined the cold, tired
The last evidence of our smoke, a lone crier
Start the process of oxidation
Spark the flame with an obvious concoction of conversation
Light it fast, watch the chemicals glow
Like when I used to blow the bong from botanical bowls
And manifold, all the panic and insanity
From our mattress when untied stacks of anarchy
Can it be that I found a girl in this world
That I could spark with, felt the flame burning our towel
And I'd lie as I lay up on the bed and pulled aside
Then forget what I said as I looked into her eyes
You're surprised, I was fighting it
With your enticing insight and quite excited
In sight was something I could flip, felt electricity
Saw I wasn't grounded, then found you
And lit up the gas that the mains' outing
Threw a little gasoline onto the blaze
It maintained for a little bit and withered away
Down past the embers in the ashes of our last fire
I see you dancing on the grave as I pass by
Branches clutching at the sky as the light turned
Burnt from a bright flame kindled in the shire
Attire, nothing but a costume we played in
Containing the oxygen, tamed the glow, died
I sighed for a little bit, cosined the cold, tired
The last evidence of our smoke, a lone crier
Light shining through the window at my record collection
Gives me something different to see, I see perception
Reclining in the light of what I feel was rejection
Only left last week and I'm seeking affection
But it's cause and effect and I mess up my mind when I think of your
Innocent smile, been a while but sickness had a simple cure
But won't work, had no benefits
Except the rush of lust, man I remember this
Shit, we ain't just shapes that will fit
Tried to make it hold together but it breaks into bits
What was clear turned to sepia
Got neglected, now you're pressing me through messenger
You call me up on my cellular phone stressing
Suggesting you might be pregnant while I'm focused on forgetting ya
It's just another sad story, I mean surely
I don't blame you at all, but let me walk free
I see you dancing on the grave as I pass by
Branches clutching at the sky as the light turned
Burnt from a bright flame kindled in the shire
Attire, nothing but a costume we played in
Containing the oxygen, tamed the glow, died
I sighed for a little bit, cosined the cold, tired
The last evidence of our smoke, a lone crier
On the bench by the side of the Seine
Feeling cold by the coast, no one holding my hand
I guess your ghost's gone
Watching waves dance far in the distance
Calm indifference, the sarcasm of a one man band
Travels ahead with your views in my head
And the hues of regret illuminate wrongs
With the muse that you left, I'll move, write and reflect
With no caller ID, so please just be strong
