flame

it's the morning

after the morning

wake up in my sheets

and only wish for more time to dream

 

the cold air is rude

and mocks the soft clothes that cover me

that kept me warm in bed

i'm too young to face this cruel world

 

so i'll just smoke this last cigarette

right till the very end

till the sun's warmth escapes my body

till the ashes fill my lungs

where haven't i been leaving ashes these days

when hasn't everything i touched burst into flames

 

i guess i'll just wait for the nighttime

cause i can't bare the infidelity of sunlight

 

when my thoughts are alive

and the stars calm a mind in motion

let's stay in the cold of the twilight

i'll use my flames to keep you warm
