about

First single off of the "Live not to Leave" LP. Lyrics used from my own poetry book by the name of "Burnt out".

lyrics

I wish I could petrify you like wood
and turn you into a stone statuette
so when I self destruct
and flames come knocking on our windowsills
my ashes will accompany the wind
and you will stand strong through the holocaust



as I sink like sand in an hourglass
as I sink like sand in an hourglass


and we're running out of time
can I petrify you, any faster, my dear?


The smoke is starting to thicken.
The smoke is starting to thicken.



and when all the exits are closed,
and the vapor steals our vision
you can be my northern star
and your eyes can be my lantern


lead me away, my statuette
my lungs are losing feeling.
lead me away, my statuette
my lungs are losing feeling.
