Smoulder

[brief whispered conversation between a man and a woman]

(age makes contents a letter
Ain’t no spell make it lesser
You make it public decision
Sage and mirrors we break up)

So hold me closer now
We get older each day now
And we just smoulder
Where the flames went out
And we earn

So stone me to the ground
And we get older each day now
And we just smoulder
Where the flames went out
And we urn

Smoulder

And I get so upset now
And I get so ashamed
Stand up there stupid naked
Lost my diamond spine again
And I know it’s why people do it
I know it’s just the game
But I can’t...
It’s something deep inside me
I just can’t explain, so
I staggered in the club
I staggered to the stage
It’s all the bright lights filled me up
With nothing, empty rage
And I wanna know what love is
I wanna trust for sure
If I forsake everything baby

Will you still be here?

So hold me closer now
We get older each day now
And we just smoulder
Where the flames went out
And we earn
