lyrics

I set a stick on fire and stood it at the base of an old tree.
The roots began to burn, their amber matched the leaves.
Autumn always seems to surface stifled memories of you.
It’s just the same sad situation I burnt a hole straight through.
Passion gets intense sometimes as the flames rise up an lick low lying roofs.
Screaming gets intense sometimes when you’re involved and love is overdue.
I can’t say I don’t miss you.
You kept me warm.

Someone please fetch some water; I’m on fire.
Sabotage gets quite out of hand when you have no self control.
Someone please explain how I function because I don’t know
After the third degree you’d think I’d have something to show.

I didn’t pay enough attention now I’ve started a forest fire.
I can here the sirens getting closer but I won’t retire.
I think I’ll sit just out of grasp of Hephaestus.
Its close to the heat I felt with you so I want to make it last.
I just lost sight of myself which unravelled the truth.
I guess I’m sorry for burning up in front of you.
I can’t say I don’t miss you.
You kept me warm.

Someone please fetch some water; I’m on fire.
Sabotage gets quite out of hand when you have no self control.
Someone please explain how I function because I don’t know
After the third degree you’d think I’d have something to show.

Well this vast woodland had no chance against the full force of a tiny spark.

Someone please fetch some water; I’m on fire.
Sabotage gets quite out of hand when you have no self control.
Someone please explain how I function because I don’t know
After the third degree you’d think I’d have something to show.
Someone please fetch some water; I’m on fire.
