Firestorms Of Venus

Sympathy comes in a kettle
You pour the tea
And gently smile
And I
I'm so content here
Calm
Just for a while
And I
Want to shatter the hourglass
How else can I make this last

Mission control
Sends me a message
Planet approaching
Prepare to land
And I
Put on my helmet
Slip my gloves on
And reach for the latch
Open the door
What do you see
Waiting report
I said it's beautiful

There's a storm
Burning
Under the surface of your smile
And this torturous yearning
Is the only proof
I am alive
I'm alive

I'm out of control
Everything's aching
I jump to my knees
And begin to pray
My skin is on fire
My heart is breaking
And all that I was
Is burning away
And all I want
Is to shatter the hourglass
To've met you
I'd do it again

There's a storm
Burning
Under the surface of your smile
And this torturous yearning
Is the only proof
I was alive
I was alive
I was alive
