In The Absence Of Fire

You've got a heart like a loaded gun

Shed the skin and spare your eyes from what I've done

So You've got a game to play?

The deck is stacked so I'll walk away

I'm haunted by my lust for your taste

Cutting myself feels right

Sometimes I don't know if I'm alive

A siren haunting once silent shores

Weighted me down in the brine

I'd toss the key to my own shackles

To taste your lips just one last time

Blind men can't stare in wonder

Her snaking hips will pull you under

A burning kiss tastes of gasoline

Well on my way to the pyre

Just strike the match, my love

I'd die just to burn in your fire

In the absence of your fire...

The blackest waves to take my ship away

The spiraling decay of all we had

My angel, tie my noose of blackened halos

With every single breath

I die a little more

Cover my mouth

Sink your teeth in

I'll still love you blindly

Clawing at the walls that cage me

Why couldn't you just forgive me?

I know your hate

I've been there

It gets no better with every passing day
