Mind Burns Alive

A glaze of sweat and kerosene
Will glisten like the rain
I've pored across the burning 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 can be 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

My mind has ignited
I can feel it burning down
Watch and wonder as the embers glow
If my flame has been put out

My mind has ignited
I can feel it burning down
Watch and wonder as the embers glow
If my flame has been put out
