The Burnings Lyrics
Exit the empty foyer
And make my way upstairs
Enter the quiet bedroom
At once ensconce a match
I'm heading straight for the bed
Your scent cannot be cured
I'm heading straight for the bed
I need to watch it burn
No ties
Just burns
Do you understand
I think you do
Forsooth, the shift so sudden
So I blow out the match
I feel I'm moving beyond
Your bid for empty sex
I'm staring straight at my hands
And through to silhouettes
I'm staring straight at my hands
They've turned to skeletons
Pure white
Not dead
You negate all sense in revenge
And make my way upstairs
Enter the quiet bedroom
At once ensconce a match
Your scent cannot be cured
I'm heading straight for the bed
I need to watch it burn
No ties
Just burns
I think you do
So I blow out the match
I feel I'm moving beyond
Your bid for empty sex
And through to silhouettes
I'm staring straight at my hands
They've turned to skeletons
Pure white
Not dead
