I Was There |
| Salt for a stone, skin from the bone |
| A fission, division from merged to alone |
| Composure to dust turns sterling to rust |
| The marriage of fire and frozen combusts |
| I was there when a bomb went off in his heart |
| That sudden release that ripped him apart |
| It scarred and imploded the space in his soul |
| His dreams are craters, his life the (?) |
| Mortals are mortar and life is the fuse |
| Burnt memories and shrapnel diffuse |
| Melting to blood, the blue flames above |
| Paint sulphurous shadow elegies to love |
| Copper from gold, the banding unfolds |
| The halo of hope goes from tender to cold |
| (?) explodes, the pressure grows |
| When passion explodes we burn in the glow |
| Same scars when part of me died |
| But I lived and came out the other side |
| The sorrow is worth the redemption you’ll feel |
| Life spins like a wheel when you start to heal |
| I saw the mind of my first love destroyed |
| The detonation pulled him into the void |
| I watched from the side as the madness evolved |
| Like you I’m a witness but can’t get involved |
| Tattooed to my mind, frozen in time |
| A bomb in his hand, glass turning to sand |
| One union dissolves, another is made |
| Powder to spark to brilliance to dark |
| The paper corrupts the pavement erupts |
| Screams from the streets shatter the peace |
| Silence from sound, then confusion to calm |
| A fire dawned and then she was gone |
| Remember the girl |
| I was there (x8) |
