Le Feu

Kiss the boy with his head on fire
Soak mine in the river with his
Cool us down and burn the leeches
Off his legs and arms... just scald him

It's fake to other people but
Sadness and colliding hearts match
It's our putrid reality
Only ours to do, live, and see

Touch the boy with the broken face
His heart bleeding us both insane
We always act like there's nothing
In our dead-beat, sedated heads

But cut our words with knives real sharp
Creeping hate will seep underneath
The comforting 'hellos', 'goodbyes'...
'I love you's mean 'get with me, please'

VOICES LIKE THUNDER
IT'S NO WONDER
LIGHTNING IMPRESSES ME

IT FEELS LIKE THUNDER
AND YOU WONDER
HOW WE CAN EVER LEAVE

Take in the boy with rage so big
It engulfs both our tattered souls
Get lost your uncertainties
And end up swallowing me whole

Crash and tremble beneath your eyes
You resent me and all feelings
We said this was just a test, right?
But this is where I rest, my love...

Taste the boy with pain so great it
Kills both our ideologies
Losing ourselves in tears and fears
We pour our hearts into wishing wells

Run and hide from those crushing hands
Showing our blood to different knives
What's the point in life, anyhow?
If everything you know's a lie?

VOICES LIKE THUNDER
IT'S NO WONDER
LIGHTNING IMPRESSES ME

IT FEELS LIKE THUNDER
AND YOU WANDER
LIKE WE WILL NEVER LEAVE
