The City is Burning, but not Forgotten
The stars are out, a pattern in the sky
My woman is a fire, burning so bright
I can’t find my way home but she happens to be my guide
The highlight of my life, the splinter in my side
And missing children won’t believe it to be true
That she is the one to have everyone’s clue
And I’m sober but I still can’t do what I must I do
And I’m wasted but I still write about you
I let you down, but please don’t look at me like that
The city is burning but I cannot forget that
Everything I’ve loved has become a vicious trap
But I take the risk no matter how many strokes to be had
Because you haunt me like a ghost
My best is to be my worst at the most
And don’t you fucking move. You are the host
Until I interrupt your party with my toast
To you and all you’ve done. You are the one
Who ruined the wedding, but also rose the sun
The one who caught me sitting, but also set me on the run
I love you, my demon, holding the barrel to my gun
I can’t defeat you, my lover, for you have already won.
