Burn the night
Burn the sea
Burn him out
of me....
I was just a little thing
Grasshopper, really
Burn the night
Burn the sea
Burn him out
of me...
Before I was a cats' claw
I was kitten soft
Burn the night
Burn the sea
Burn him out
of me...
While at first he seemed friendly
I soon began to envy
A world without him
Burn the night
Burn the sea
Burn him out
of me...
His horrific touch
And that sentence says enough
Burn the night
Burn the sea
Burn him out
of me...
Burning frantic smiles
Wooden hollow eyes
Have haunted me for some time
Burn the night
Burn the sea
Burn him out
of me...
Burn the night
Burn the sea
Burn him out
of me....

Burn the sea

Burn the night

Burn him out
of me...
His horrific touch
And that sentence says enough
Burn the night
Burn the sea
Burn him out
of me...
Burning frantic smiles
Wooden hollow eyes
Have haunted me for some time
Burn the night
Burn the sea
Burn him out
of me...

Disturbing but eloquent lines that might work as a song with the chorus:
Burn the night
Burn the sea
Burn him out
of me...
The burning is forgetting, but the rage may be impossible to let go. Kitten soft to a cat's claw, possibly a necessary transformation. Brilliantly written!
