Burning

I'll burn for you
Intoxicated in your aura
Blurred memories of you
Leaking from my eyes

I'll burn for you
Brighter than a lighthouse
To a ship lost at sea
And hotter than a Mississippi summer

I'll burn for you
Like a vampire in the sun
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Reduced to a pile of rubbish

I'll burn for you
I'll scream for you
Till everyone knows your name
On my lips

I'll burn for you
Till my bones ache
In the midst of my plague of numbness
Till I feel the searing pain of heartbreak

I'll burn for you
Like the lit end of a burning spliff
One more smoke, just one more
Until every one more is gone
