The Fires I Started |
| I could stand here in the dark |
| Until they bring me a glass jar |
| To catch the things I want to catch |
| To keep a spider as a pet |
| I could howl up at the moon |
| Until the ending comes too soon |
| For things I used to beg to fetch |
| Things like you, my pet |
| And they would all see my unserious desperation |
| As my arms unfurl to retrieve words already spilled |
| All the fires I ever started can’t begin to warm me |
| They all got away -- not one left a trace |
| I will end here listening |
| To the sound of my own breathing |
| To my many accomplishments |
| Though you never heard what I meant |
| I will leave your memory |
| To those who see you clearly |
| I will not carve you into song |
| I tell everyone’s story wrong |
| And they would all see my unserious desperation |
| as my arms unfurl to retrieve words already spilled |
| All the fires I ever started can’t begin to warm me |
| They all got away -- not one left a trace |
| This is the song you forget in a day |
| This is the love I threw away |
| This is the choice you forget in a day |
| This is the hope we threw away |
