Forest Fires

When you move to North Carolina
And park your van by the beach
Burn your pickup truck
And cook my flesh in the fire

But only eat the
Parts that you touched
While I lived, throw my bowels in the fire
Feed the bear on my
Lifeless body
His diet can suffer mauling what's left of me

Virginia told me the woods are on fire
And there's no way, there's no way to put it away
I can smell the trees are burning
In the woods in the walls in the bus
In the windows on the highway

Maybe now I can finally stop writing these songs
With words I used to derive your name
From hints of letters and inside jokes
Only I would recognize

The only difference
Between me and you
Is I love math and you own a calculator
Mountainous tops of purple
Connecting the ends of the circle

Virginia told me the woods are on fire
And there's no way, there's no way to put it away
I can smell the trees are burning
In the woods in the walls in the bus
In the windows on the highway

Anyone can have you
If anyone can meet you
It's only a matter of time before I'm just a word
On the burnt CDs you don't listen to
Anymore since he buys them for you
Muscles twitch and pull together
Softer than the lightest feather

Virginia told me the woods are on fire
And there's no way, there's no way to put it away
I can smell the trees are burning
In the woods in the walls in the bus
In the windows on the highway

Virginia told me the woods are on fire
And there's no way, there's no way to put it away
I can smell the trees are burning
In the woods in the walls in the bus
In the windows on the highway
