S07: Too Close To The Fire |
LyricsToo Close To The Fire© 2012 Sahlen/Starburst It's a blistering tragedy weighed down in all its dreams Sagging from its gravity; bursting from its seams It's a mourning ritual, boot strapped to its grief A thundering monstrous spectacle screaming for relief (chorus) Long distance love was so much more with you just in my head But now your constant presence here just fills my heart with dread This twisting burning firestorm, once flaming with desire Now lies smoldering in a heap too close to the fire If we could only go back two centuries ago To kick start our true destiny before the big bang show Changing our reality before the fatal plunge Erasing the banality which ruins all our fun (chorus) Long distance love was so much more with you just in my head But now your constant presence here just fills my heart with dread This twisting burning firestorm, once flaming with desire Now lies smoldering in a heap too close to the fire (bridge) Life, oh life, it's such a drag hanging round all day lobotomy brings sanity; there is no other way (chorus) Long distance love was so much more with you just in my head But now your constant presence here just fills my heart with dread This twisting burning firestorm, once flaming with desire Now lies smoldering in a heap too close to the fire |
