So Much Fire

I ain't nothing by ribs, knees, and elbows

I'm way too young to be dry, brittle, and cold

I've been wondering how I let her hurl me into madness

I've been wondering how she bled the child in me away

I've been hammering boards over the windows

I've been nailing the doors to the frames

I've been wondering how I let her fill my heart with lightning

I've been wondering how she led a long haired boy astray

No, I've fought to the man for the last time

And I don't understand how a girl so much like rain can breathe so much fire

I've been tapping the walls listening for angels

I've been eyeing the halls spying for ghosts

And in a shadowy dream, I can see her barefoot on the glider

I try to beg her for peace, but I'm just too vague and far away

No, I've fought to the man for the last time

And I don't understand how a girl so much like rain can breathe so much fire

And in a shadowy dream, I see her barefoot on the glider

I try to beg her for peace, but I'm just too vague and far away

No, I've fought to the man for the last time

And I don't understand how a girl so much like rain can breathe so much fire

She breathed so much fire

How could she see through the flames?

How could she see through the flames?
