LYRICS

ONE MORE FLAME TO BURN

You knock like you know I'm awake
Like you've seen the crack in the lock I fake
I keep saying no in my empty room
But your shadow knows I'll say yes too soon

You don't bring flowers you bring heat
In a coat that smells like fire and defeat
I should send you back to where you came
But I'm down to my last match just the same

So if you're gonna lie at least light slow
Let me breathe in sparks before you go
I don't want forever just let it burn
We've both got one more flame to burn

The walls don't echo like they used to do
But they know the weight and the sound of you
You don't say much just hang your head
And I say nothing but let you in instead

I wrote your name in soot on steel
It vanished fast but felt real
They say the sky's too dark to learn
But I still glow when you return

So if you're gonna break me do it right
Pull me close and kill the light
We're not lovers we're just a slow turn
But tonight we've got one more flame to burn
