Mind Burns Alive

A glaze of sweat and kerosene Will glisten like the rain I've pored across the burning thoughts To find the only way That I can let you know A proclamation of the the pain The searing brand inside my head So firmly held in place My mind has ignited I can feel it burning down Watch and wonder as the embers glow If my flame can be put out The graceful notes, the sacred smoke Will soon perfume the air I will run to you as final proof How deeply that I care To put every wrong to right You need a sacrificial lamb Shades of orange and red, leaping out of my head Encompass what I am My mind has ignited I can feel it burning down Watch and wonder as the embers glow If my flame has been put out My mind has ignited I can feel it burning down Watch and wonder as the embers glow If my flame has been put out
