Flaming Home

You thought you knew me

Emptiness prevails

I thought our full house was glowing

Emptiness in the house

Every single shape I see for the pile of dust it is

Let's get out of the romance

Empty house

Now I look at the lights of town

Through the trees on my way home

Emptiness

Let's get out of the romance

The house that I walk home to

Is in flames in this wind

The wind is getting stronger

The emptiness shows

The breath that moves the branches

Saying words that I don't know

Blows from nowhere

Just destroying

For no reason

But to wake me up again heartbroken and tall

Wind revealing

The dust that the body becomes

The spaces where we stood echo quiet

Rubbing eyes

We fill up the empty days

Clinging with our things to a windy rock

I revealed myself to you

And let the wind take me

Obliterated, you know me by my shadow
