A glaze of sweat and kerosene

Will glisten like the rain

I've pored across the burning thoughts

To find the only way

That I can let you know

A proclamation of the the pain

The searing brand inside my head

So firmly held in place

My mind has ignited

I can feel it burning down

Watch and wonder as the embers glow

If my flame can be put out

The graceful notes, the sacred smoke

Will soon perfume the air

I will run to you as final proof

How deeply that I care

To put every wrong to right

You need a sacrificial lamb

Shades of orange and red leaping out of my head

Encompass what I am

My mind has ignited

I can feel it burning down

Watch and wonder as the embers glow

If my flame has been put out

My mind has ignited

I can feel it burning down

Watch and wonder as the embers glow

If my flame has been put out
