Fire Dancer 03:17
When you dance with the flames, I will gather the ashes, Cursing your name and the tightness in my chest. Could it be all that we hoped for all our lives has begun tonight? I'd forgotten all temptation, The way you'd move, Knowing our love would still die young. Both licking at the sky, You and your fire burn high. But they'll never get our story right, If we can't outshine these city lights, So endlessly surround me and you tonight. You're the best at proving me wrong when I'm right, With your silent gaze and deep, dark eyes. There simply is no one left to fight, When you run and hide. This could've been all that we'd hoped for all our lives, But this is what's left of what we've become tonight.

We put our lungs to the test in our twenties. We were the image of apathy, blessed with time. A thousand nights have escaped from my memory, Believing that dreaming was not a crime. The white lies you overheard, Of wide eyes and misery. To spend all of your days beginning. To be down on your luck and to give in. I'm sick of sounding like I don't make any sense, But I lose control when everybody's got their own damn song to sing. She downed a bottle of pills on a Thursday, 'Cause they clipped her wings long before she learned how to fly. They fluttered wildly and rattled their cages all through the night. She gave up the fight. The white lies you overheard while half asleep in the aviary. To spend all of your days beginning. To be down on your luck and to give in. So give me your vaguest grin. We're just lucky to be blending in. We're not listening, we're just waiting for our turn to talk. So forgive me 'cause I let you in. You're just like me, we're both just like them. We never meant to be this way. Where did we go wrong my friend? When will all our troubles end? Does it all mean nothing to you anymore? The truth was more than you could take. Enough to just perpetuate the ache. To lose what you once thought you'd be. A sanctuary.

about

Originally intended to be released as a sequel to our "Asleep in the Aviary" EP that was titled "Dreams of Flying Machines". It didn't happen because we weren't happy with the way the majority of the songs came out.
