Fiction In The Fire

An open heart policy
We made an honest fantasy
Our oldest secrets thrown away into the stream
We’re different now than when we met
We break, we fight, we get upset
I know the signs, but I won’t stand to lose you yet
Thread the stitch, don’t rip this wide open
Patch it quick before we find what’s broken
Holding on to fiction in the fire
Keeping calm while we burn
While we burn
Bleeding out, caving in
Running low on safety pins
We took the good and wore it down to the skin
We let it leave without consent
We bet it all on good intent
And now we’re left with love’s, love’s lament
Thread the stitch, don’t rip this wide open
Patch it quick before we find what’s broken
Holding on to fiction in the fire
Keep you calm while we burn
While we burn
That flicker in your eyes
Can we keep this fire alive?
