about

A sad song about an old flame. Faithless though I might seem, my intentions are always true. Leave your heart open. The more it is broken, the more you feel. And when feelings are intense they are sweeter and more illuminating to the dark places. I trust my senses

lyrics

You know it's not your fault
If I'm breaking my own heart.
Though it's halfway to the truth
It's breaking over you.

I cannot explain
What causes me this pain
If I wrap it up in words
I'll miss the point again

I'm pouring salt water on the spark
To keep the fires from burning through the dark
Pouring the salt water on the spark
To keep the fire from burning through burning through the shell I grew

The message you gave to me
Turned my bitter sweet
I was living for your taste
While I was being replaced

I'm pouring salt water on the spark
To keep the fires from burning through the dark
Pouring the salt water on the spark
To keep the fire from burning through burning through the shell I grew.

Such a lovely flame, burning me alive.
On this beautifullest day, what a lovely way to die.
