FIREPROOF

There's no conversation
I've changed the locks
We crashed and burned
In the howling September wind
I didn't want this battle
But it's at my door

Put away your
Box of tricks
I know your next move
Before you even
Think about it
Fact is
You can't break
Something that's
Already broken

I swear
Your witchcraft
Won't work on me
This time
Staring into the distance
Wondering how
It came to this

Now it's all gone
Like dust in the wind
There won't be any roses
On my bones
You were always
Running around
Like there's no tomorrow

This runaway train
You call love
Only got halfway
We ran out of

Tracks of reality

Did you find your way back?
I buried all of my devotion

At the end of the line

It's the last call
The desperate grasp
Of the fingers
Painful goodbyes
On the 4th floor
The door slams shut

Like my shattered heart

I gave you
Everything I could
But it wasn't enough
Can't run on empty
I shouldn't 

Hold my breath 
Oil doesn't mix
With water

I tried my best
You did your worst
The endless promises
The hazy memories
Are like
Walking on flames
But now
I'm fireproof

UNTIL WE'RE DONE

I know it won't last
But my dearest
Until we're done
What an almighty mess
We're going to make

I fell in love
With the sneaking around
Between the rumours
And your wicked smile
There's a whole world
Of chimera
And now
I can't let it go

Round the corner
Where no one can see
I know every outline
Of the scene of the crime
Keep hiding
Behind the fake walls
Until they call cut

I'm on fire under water
The red flags were flying
But I was colour blind
X marks the spot
Behind the torn curtain
Where it all
Went to hell

The stars aligned
Inside the make-believe
In the northern sky
But they didn't shine
Bright enough
The world turns in colour
With you it was always
Black and white

I nearly fell off the edge
Went the long way round
Didn't see
The cold hard truth
Until it had
Frozen me under
And I was
Sinking deeper

Now you're just a ghost
In my heart
I've flown away
From my troubles
So many times
But never
Learned a thing

NEVER

It's never just
One sigh
Takes a blink of an eye
To get tangled in
Your web of fantasy
End up putting out
Imaginary fires

For a long time
It felt like all the songs
About us
Had already been written
But then you went and
Changed the lyrics

I was sailing along
Just fine
But then you
Broke the keel
Threw out the oars
Took the wind
From my sails

I swear
We lost our minds
Agreed-upon delusions
Castles built on
Unthinkable dreams
How do you come back
From infinity

I walked out
When the air
Turned cold
That fateful night
But I never moved on
I keep going round in circles
But none of them lead
Back to you

I admit
Your soul passed
Through mine
Still the best mistake
I ever made
But now something has
Died in me
If you call
I won't answer
