Lucifer oh Lucifer
you've let me down to-day
as my fire isn't glowing
in its usual heating way

the wood won't catch
alight to make a flame
inside the firebox
activity is rather lame

Lucifer oh Lucifer
where's that tinder glow
that should be on
an orange coal show

something has gone amiss
with the torch's flare
the sound of sparks crackling
are truly rare

When life feels suspended by a delicate thread
Change is inevitable
I sometimes feel stifled
Tightly constricted
Like a chrysalis
Struggling against transformation
I oppose the transition
And need more time to adapt
Today
A butterfly tapped against my window
Like change asking to come in
If I can comply with Grace
Maybe I too can transcend
And withstand the butterfly effect

My life is so perfect!
I'm so happy to have this many friends;
Sunshine fills my every day!
Everyone greets me with a smile;
Roads and singing cars,
All the things I see are beautiful!
But the most thrilling part is,
Love fills me up!
Everything in my world is joyous!
Read between the lines ******

Don't try and save me anymore
I've fallen so far behind
I can't go
Just leave me where I am
Don't pretend to care
Because I knew the moment I joined your little party
I was about to get lost.
Don't try and cry for me
I know what you really want from me
Just leave me where I am
Don't pity me
You've forgotten me now
So don't try to make me feel remembered
I've fallen so far behind
I can't go
Because I knew the moment I joined your little party
*I was about to get lost.
I can't think straight anymore

Thanks
