lyrics

Deep in you
Was a spark too bright
A blood red light
And it needed you
As a fuel
To flicker and ignite

Now your spark's a cinder
In a tinderbox heart
With no way to put it out
So you try your best to keep it contained
'cos there's nobody else
Can quell the flame

Can't be dulled
Can't be tamed
Burning slow
Until it burns you, burns you away
What it takes
No god could replace
Unknown, unnamed
Until it burns you all away

The old town
You knew me straight away
With one word
The decades fell away
But I couldn't look at you

'cos I was out of your life
The day you made to dive
Out of the gloom
But they got to you in time
To pay the price of staying alive
You had to give that spark your life

I wish you could have run away, run away
I wish you could have run away, run away
To find some way to leave the pain behind
To get you out from under
I wish you could have run away, run away
I know you should have run away, run away
To find some peace of mind or succour
But you never found a way to make it out

Never dulled
Never tamed
Burning slow
And now it's burnt you, burnt you away
What it took
No love could replace
Unknown, unnamed
And now it's burnt you, burnt you

So I'll try to remember
How you were in better days
Before you were pushed aside by the flame
'cos that day you came towards me
Empty eyes and edges frayed
I knew it would hold you
Until it burned you all away
