NOTHING MORE

For this I ask nothing more than I give
Drowning in apathy we drink til we’re sick
And watch the phoenix rise from the ashes of our ruin
Dripping in sweet relief we drink til we drown

Everything’s on fire
All my thoughts on fire
What I look for I haven’t found just yet
But it burns like a burned out cigarette
And the hole at the bottom of my heart
Aches with envy

Reach through the mist wipe the ash from my face
Cut loose the bonds that hold me fast to this place
Follow the phoenix’ rise from the ashes of our ruin
Drink in the fleeting scent of jitterbug perfume
