Fire in my ribs
coals upon my tongue
you fuel the fevered
urgency of my words
Do you feel the burn
when I speak in flames?
Charcoal in my eyes
and my lungs full of smoke;
I inhale ash and exhale remains
Your lips are a fountain
and I'm on fire with your reprisal
Now kiss me like vengence
and extinguish these flames

and my lungs full of smoke;
I inhale ash and exhale remains
Your lips are a fountain
and I'm on fire with your reprisal
Now kiss me like vengence
and extinguish these flames
