All that I am is smoldering embers of a dying fire
waiting for a wind that will pick up my flame
you are the oxygen which allows me to burn
with one gust from you i know i’ll remain

The night is now still and foresees a guaranteed storm
as i wait for the torrent i beg mercy of the stars
the stars not responding, they point me to you
so your tasseogrophy tells me, ambivalent you are

I, these smoldering embers, still wait patiently
my flame still remains a dormant bed of ash
the only truth i know is that your breath is my fate
and if that breath wont come, just tell me, i ask

I can no longer bare the silence of this impending storm
let the torrent pour in and douse my embers out
this is the end of my smoldering existence
oh how you had me burning during the drought

when you go
where will i be
where will you go
when i am no longer me

ashes to ashes
sea to sea
we'll ride the winds
for eternity

the waves crash
and wash away
the parts of us
we wish would stay

the clock comes out swinging
i go down like a ton of bricks
struck in the face by dawn
by the heavy fist of the hour hand

it was an unfair fight
my stomach burned
hands shook
head hurt

allying time, my mind hit
with weapons of mass insomnia
my two trembling hands,
the clock flaunted three strong

it was an unfair fight
the clock hung strong
hung straight
hung high

now its come the next morning
calmly accepting my fate
time will always hold me down
but i will always be up

coerced by a dream
never feared
hostility a dream once had

scale tipped subliminally
surfaced and drifted in
on a wave of the pacific ocean

the decision was dancing
back and forth, turning round
it was a waltz, 3/4 time

the party ended
chased my smoke out the door
to fade in the night

coerced by a dream
never feared
hostility a dream once had

gazing from my window
i got no wave back
counting the tears fall from my face

the beach was aggressive
as were the plains
one would win

the battle was over
i went home
back to the plains

disappear
disappear
disappear
i don't want you here
don't put me there
for you know
i have no control
you don't have to mean it
you don't have to fake it
you know that i would never know
nothing more than a means to an end
you don't want a lover, a son, or a friend
superior in grace, in sound and in beauty
a woman is never to blame, you have no duty
away from me now
you've ruined my time
but its really my fault
for your committing the crime
sickening soul
know i can't defend
you've become the means
to my meaningless end

my heart, its gone
its gone
she roams free
apart from me
i did not mean
to turn her loose
another heart  
set her free
shall she return,
will she know me for
my mind or body
when you find my body
do not weep
for though we are ugly,
our kiss sinks deep
the graceful ones
see right through me
but only you can say
whats trash or beauty
for you're the heart
so many long for
and now you're stuck
with me
and i wouldn't know
what for
