Performance

Fields of living fire

You’ll see me reaching into the air

The shadow of a survivor

I turn around, but there’s no one there

I’ve been looking for a reason

Some poisons taste like the sweetest wine

But all I ever believed in

Was all the things that I couldn’t find

The fires burn, erasing all the traces

And I spread the ashes all across the sky

Watching it fall like rain through empty spaces

To the darkness of my heart and mind

Hear the cries and the whispers

The touch-and-go of another night

The afterglow of desire

Shines with the flame of a lesser light

A line of nameless faces

Fading away in a sea of time

Another time and place is

The last belief of performing mind

The fires burn, erasing all the traces

And I spread the ashes all across the sky

Watching it fall like rain through empty spaces

To the darkness of my heart and mind

In a room without a view

There’s a story without end

Every time the answer shows

Then another hides away

The fires burn, erasing all the traces

And I spread the ashes all across the sky

Watching it fall like rain through empty spaces

To the darkness of my heart and mind
