Swirl, twist, and burn
I stand to wait my turn
The Fire blazes ahead
My senses are now dead
Only seeing dull figures
Making painful jestures
How could it be we ended here?
The thought slipped along with a tear
Dreading the Blaze
I stood in a haze
No more glee to be shared between us
It was lost in lies and lust
I feel more tears shredding
For my heart is still shredding
Leave me be and feel the songs
They've been burned into my soul with hot tongs
Don't forget our Dance
Which, ending, has left me in a trance
