We Are You On Fire

The city is on fire
She says she's seen it burning
Judgment based on ruins
Gathered and rearranged
Her face felt no flames
Her skin remains in tact
She thinks she's seen it all
But he says she's seen nothing

Walk away my source of grief
Quivering thin memories
Deceived by her eyes
As he transforms before her
To a man she once had
But they shot him down
Trapped deep in infancy
Cartilage change to bone
She thinks she's seen it all
But he says she's seen nothing

Walk away my source of grief
Quivering think memories
Dense bands of ash and debris
We are you if you were burning

Long ago, just let it go
I wanted to know
What's burning on
Just like the flesh
That dies as it melts away
Long ago burning off
Just like the flesh
That dies
To attach
Her head to his bed
She's dead in his bed
