lyrics
like a spider she lays the traps i once knew well
past wreckage nearing, i guess i'll take my place
she preys on young blood, it makes for new excitement
with bent wrists in the winter air, the firedancer shines a light
we dance in this fire
i set under you
true colours come forth
and lay extinguished
running faster trying to escape this failed dream
fatigue has claimed my senses-- call me wanderer
no longer clouded, i need to find a new home
words forming clearer, just to float down like ash
i'll run through this fire
you set in my life
choking down embers
as they sear my heart shut
stare into the fire
that reclaims your skin
now i'm free to travel
the waking world and dreams.
