lyrics

As she wakes from a dream that feels like memories
She could swear there’s smoke in the air
And the heat from his skin should burn her alive
But somehow they’re just lying there
He’s fragile as dust and could crumble with a touch
But he reaches out for her

And he’ll trace the tattoo on her shoulder
But he won’t stay inside of the lines
‘Cause it’s hard to see in the dark dear,
And darling it’s fine
Darling it’s fine

He says he’s fine, but he smells of smoke
And his skin is ash
The flames on his tongue, on his lips, in his eyes
Speak the truth and she can’t relax
His touch burns like ice - she’ll be consumed
But oh what a way to go

Just close your eyes - let the world melt away
Just close your eyes - let the world melt away
Just close your eyes - let the world melt away
Just close your eyes
