Bonfire Lit up this entire House of ornate desire The ceilings set afire This hopeful spark Turned into charred logs Bonfire. Bonfire I’ve watched us Be damp timber for too long Till we struck the match Shrunk to the warmth Choking on our own confessions Asphyxiating In this smoky haze It wasn’t love Bonfire. Bonfire This night is already over Our story a distant chorus Your silhouette Departed With the last red Of the Bonfire We were a catalytic firework Now we’re out of colours The winds carry our ashes Bonfire.

Bonfire
Bonfire Lit up this entire House of ornate desire The ceilings set afire This hopeful spark Turned into charred logs Bonfire. Bonfire I’ve watched us Be damp timber for too long Till we struck the match Shrunk to the warmth Choking on our own confessions Asphyxiating In this smoky haze It wasn’t love Bonfire. Bonfire This night is already over Our story a distant chorus Your silhouette Departed With the last red Of the Bonfire We were a catalytic firework Now we’re out of colours The winds carry our ashes Bonfire.
