Color

Shimmering with virtue and desire
While the fire’s burning bright
But with this disguise
There’s nowhere else to hide
My mind’s cold and contrite
And nothing feels right
Elegant and glistening as I fizzle
You’re a riddle, not yet read
But you’re stuck in my head
All night long
I can’t hold on
Let me go
But nothing was said
When you had me misled
I started over again
We’ll only be friends
My face burns and I know I should turn away
I would much rather leave but I need to stay
Stay awake and replace your mistakes
With the colors that bleed
From the back of the fireplace
But I still don’t know why
You made me close my eyes
My face burns and I know I should turn away
I would much rather leave but I need to stay
Stay awake and replace your mistakes
With the colors that bleed
From the back of the fireplace
