Flames extinguished as I awoke
From a slumber vague of details
Past tense location
A friendly retrograde
Subtle color within the shades
Tell me this isn't the first time it has all burnt away
So we missed it
We rebuilt it
But it is never replaced
We cannot return
Took her in too
And spat out at the next bedside
Such a warm youth
Filled with myself
I will never bear it
I can't share this
And the bells ring without remorse
An eternal flame burns on that riverbank
Spilling black and white from a burnt volcano
And as I felt her skin melt
So did my blindness to this hell
Another strange door to be afraid of
Its howling takes me farther
With her knife in the lining of my pockets
And everything
Stays the same
Nothing changes in this dream
