If I'm not always with you, you will lose me to myself
I'll wander off and far away from everybody else
And if you try to find me when you see that I am gone
Remembering my face will only further lead you on
When all of me acknowledges the foreign and the known
I'll dip my feet in oil, light a match and let it go
The fire on my skin will not be hot enough to fear
I'll watch you watching me until I have to disappear
when I'm not where you are
