I can’t smother this fire, it’s burning me to ashes
speak out, heart I can’t bear the pain
don’t ask the thorn who knows my rose
no better than me
hardship is learned through hardship
the frost is gone, don’t bring it back
don’t ask the thorn who knows my rose
no better than me
light a cig, light up
and keep it alight
(let’s walk away)
the more I dig, the deeper the hollow in my heart
the longer the letter, the more I pierce the paper
my sense of self is gone, I’m tied up in knots, there’s no one to untie me
even if I get free, will I be able to see?
they roared and roared
they broke my fledgling wings
speak out, heart
I can’t stay here anymore
