The Way We Burn

lyrics

it’s a nickel past one more shot
there’s a new moon hangin’ like a hole in the sky
we’re on our way to forgetting
but it gets easier every night

it’s not the fall that kills you
it’s not the lesson that learns
it’s not the way we strike the match
it’s the way we burn

it’s a quarter past too far gone
there is gun powder frozen in the ice
it’s too late to thaw
but it’s alright for dreaming tonight

it’s not the words that warm you
it’s not the sky that turns
it’s not the way we fuel the fire
it’s the way we burn

hidden in cinders
drowning in doubt
your soul only weighs as much as what carves it out
searching the smoulder
mouthful of ash
slow to start
but burned out so fast

whittle me down to a nib
and write our end
