A glaze of sweat
And kerosene
Will glisten like the rain
I’ve pored across
The burnings thoughts
To find the only way
That I can let you know
A proclamation of the the pain
The searing brand
Inside my head
So firmly held in place
My mind has ignited
I can feel it burning down
Watch and wonder
As the embers glow
If my flame has been put out
The graceful notes
The sacred smoke
Will soon perfume the air
I will run to you
As final proof
How deeply that I care
To put every wrong to right
You need a sacrificial lamb
Shades of orange and red
Leaping out of my head
Encompass what I am
