You’re so silent, sweet
That I would read
Burning words off down the page
Sing some psalm
Go on and on
If you did not mind so much

Ideas are books
Inside a class
Things you wish you never knew
Some thing’s stopping
I think it’s you
I think, you think, that you do too

Fire

Way over on the other side
I imagine
There must be some warm
Some warm inside you
Way over on the other side
A burning noose
I could just follow
Until you’re through

I won’t read deeply
Because I know you
And I know you
And you know too
Something’s not right
And you know it’s true
You know it's true, I know

Fire

Another day in paradise
The sun explodes

Into
the
moon

I’m trapped on page to page
In a burning book
Speaking of volumes
you already knew

Fire

Some foul smell
I can’t recall
Making all of my senses fall
Another day in paradise
Deeper down the well
Into the cradle grave, I fell
