Destroyed

Fire lit up the night
licked the darkness bright

freedom, beautiful and glowing
i reach to touch you, unknowing

desire, you've destroyed me
burned me up inside
unquenching thirst
I felt you burst
and tear me open wide.

glorious and wicked turned to stone
i have punished myself to life alone

freedom, cold and merciless
i followed your siren song
no sweet familiar caress
no place to belong

desire, you’ve destroyed me
burned me up inside
unquenching thirst
I felt you burst
And tear me open wide
Fireworks frozen in a frame
To feel I’ve held myself on open flame

Fire lit up my soul
So I could see the hole

Freedom, beautiful and glowing
I am reaping now what I spent years sewing
