i used to miss the smell of fire
clean and pure and full of desire
and this was the first you came to me

like an angel in a dream
or a cartridge in a gun
you flew towards me

and i closed my eyes for half of forever

and i missed the smell of the ocean
and i missed the tears and the sand
and my bruises

and i gaze even now at my ugly scars
and i want to cut myself open
repair my flaws, maybe for you

and then i kept my eyes open till the sun rose

i remember on my knees crying things seemed simple
or slightly less red
and then i saw you

like an angel you flew across the room
and guided my hand softly away from the trigger
softly away from the soft edge of forever

your guiding hands felt like forever...

oh angel i beg you, overwhelm me
i'll fall for you glory
and beg your forgiveness
i swear just overwhelm me

and that was where i stood
before mixtures of tears and blood found me
inside this fire burns forgotten
and sometimes it's tended and sometimes it screams

cackle and pop don't burst at the seams

so i beg, overwhelm me
remember when dreams meant something?
i dropped to myself and smiled almost
before blood stuck my mouth together

overwhelm me...
