Fire & Roses

Hold tight, if I'd only known it could rain
inside
Keel over
Take a stand
Trying to keep my head on my shoulders
Overflow, undertow
Trying to keep my head above water.

Believe me- I'm a fighter 'till the end
Look into my eyes
It's all on fire
My life needs fire; I want roses
Strewn at my feet.

Moving in,
Moving out
The current pulls me
Stay buoyant
I tumble, doing deep-sea cartwheels

Outside it's dark
I catch my breath and scream
Scream...
It's all on fire
My life needs fire,
I want roses strewn at my feet.

It's all on fire,
my life needs fire,
I want roses strewn at my feet.

Soundlessly I fade away.
I sail, I float far away.
A thousand clues and second-thoughts lie deep in the belly of my heart
If I listen so close...
It's all on fire,
my life needs fire; I want roses.

Meanwhile, I float on the sea.
Moving in,
Moving out.
Outside it's dark again.
Still, I realize what a fine line you walk along,
tight-roping between sink or swim, or fall or stand...

I sit here,
I stare and still I see it's raining.
Hard to say, hard to see.
Hard to know, hard to tell....
It's raining.

Hard to know, hard to say
It's raining.
Hard to know, hard to tell
It's raining, it's raining.
