I smell the smoke in the air from the fire burning
Burning eyes feel the smoke
How did it start?
A careless cigarette? A campfire? A lightning strike?
I wish it was so easy to light a fire in my heart.
Long ago, someone dampened my spirit
And I have fought to have it only raining
Instead of waterfalls
Then another broke my trust
So I put up walls
Then another
And I am too soft, still
My clay heart never dries
Will never be fired
Will always be too soft
Yet I am still here
I used to be you
That's why I turned
I'm not wanting to stare
In a sexual way
I just wonder what it's like
To be you
I wonder what it's like
To be me
The me I used to be
Before everything hurt
Before I forgot how to live
I'm trying to remember
I see you and I think
I was you
But I can't remember
