And once again I find myself lost in memory
Lost in dreams, lost in life, lost in all that keeps us
Alive, and stops ourselves from finding our way
To move on, with the water, cascading
Reflecting the flames, I feel the flames are burning
Forests ablaze, nothing the same, the joy of impermanence
Cheating death whilst cheating at life, I find
Tears shed for lost souls, the forests alight

I crawl through ashes on hands and knees,
Searching for parts, a heart, a lung screaming
The misfortune of dislocation
Getting lost in the conflagration
How many homes how many lives?
Can be lost before you change your minds?
We are heading towards the precipice
I'll be the nudge so you can dive in

And from the abyss
Feel souls screaming
I'll be sure to teach them your name
You can say you did the right thing
Words like ash burning on your tongue
In despair and rage you are undone
And as they wrap their hands around your throat
You’ll find forgiveness is worth its weight in gold

Searching for purpose in the flames, reading patterns in ashes
Finding logic in shame, established bounds break down
And tied at the ankles, there’s water in my lungs
Trying to put out the blaze as it comes from above

I find it difficult to separate what is real
From imagined fate and make sense of lost souls and heal
Try to cut through the visions like cataracts that are
Clouding the truth and I find myself back

And in this way we are already lost, doomed to die
Shattered souls spread out on flame and pinned down
To the earth as the ground falls away
Moon aflame with crimson as the sky sets alight

From on high it is possible to see
The Earth start to crumble into ash at our feet
And what if our souls inhabit the abyss?
Are we set to suffer fate trapped in concrete?
If I find hands wrapped around my throat
Can I hope for a rapture to save my soul?
We can try to face destruction
As the ground turns to flame
But there will be no escape

We have lost our way
Trapped, entombed in flame
Burnt in a hell of our own making
At what point will we ever learn?
