Lifting me,
loving me,
Mending what's broken,

Always for you,
My heart will be open.

Do we share,
Our misery?
What is it,
you see in me?

Do I make you,
Feel Light and free?
What keeps you ever,
So close to me?

It's not my smile,
Nor my words,
Half of which,
You call absurd.

It's not my hopes,
It's not my dreams,
From both of which,
You took the steam.

It's not my love,
nor my attention,
Any man,
can rig suspension.

It was my heart,
Back at the start,
but you have now,
torn that apart.

So tell me now,
What is in me?
Was it all,
For my loyalty?

I sell society,
Everything it wants to hear.
Capitalist propriety,
Let me just make it clear.

Poison Disassociation,
Can still mislead a nation,
Smiling as we're falling down,
Laughing as we hit the ground,

I say it's fine, with a smile,
Spewing "facts", all the while.

I'll change your mind,
I'll mend your views.
Remember this,
If you're confused.
I'll leave your brain,
Bloodied and bruised,
You can always,
Trust the news!

I fall in love much too fast.
I try to appreciate people.
I've been hurt in the past,
But not all are evil.

I give them all the best of me,
Right out from the start.
I am a loving person,
Eager to give out my heart.

I find you here in waiting,
As if it's perfect that I've come along,
We begin to flirt and speak of dating,
And we enjoy the familiar song.

We speak of moments,
In warm embrace,
Our huddled warmth,
Held face to face,
A kiss on the lips from me to you,
Something pure, something true.
Something with a deeper meaning,
Something finally right on Que.

But when I finally open up,
You weren't ready to fill my cup.
Now I sit, in cold despair,
And I regret, the empty chair.
The one once held by someone true,
Who changed and changed as we grew.
How I long for those old days,
When my hopes were more than flames.

Watch the ember spark to life,
Revel in it's brightened brilliance,
As the kindle begins to burn,
You're using twigs to build resilience.

As it catches add the logs,
build it even higher still.
build it strong, like a wall.
Make sure the fire gets it's fill.

Lie down and love it's warmth,
Sit here, enjoy the hill.
Look out into the stars,
Let your mind take in the thrill.

But when the logs begin to char,
and the fires strongest heat is elapsed.
Cease to build the loyal flame.
And smile over the time that's passed.  

Remember the moment,
recall the day,
and let the flame,
smoke it's self away.
