Anthony

The building was burning, the plaster was crumbling

I lost my sense and I ran back inside

The groan of the floorboards, and heat spreading under them

Billowing smoke, in my throat and my eyes

The kitchen ablaze and the wallpaper curling

The table where you and I figured it out

At two in the morning, alive and uncertain

Just talking in circles, dreaming aloud

Anthony I’m afraid, alone in the building, the billowing flame

And I lost my mind I guess

I thought i knew what forever meant

A crash in the hallway, the photographs falling

The shattering glass, like rain coming down

The one of you standing, your hands in your pockets

The look on your face, obscured by the sun

Anthony I’m afraid, alone in the building, the billowing flame

And I lost my mind I guess

I thought I knew what forever meant

The heat and the hunger, the smoke in the sky

The feeling of losing, and something on fire

And up in the bedroom, the curtains all blackened

The bed where I loved you beginning to burn

I opened the window where I used to call you

Below in the garden you’re already gone

Anthony I’m afraid, alone in the building, the billowing flame

And I lost my mind I guess

I thought I knew what forever meant

I thought I knew what forever meant
